Investment? Non with new a cars. Few with old cars.
Collectibles? Many specially cars in good shape from the 70s and 80s. Like a 2002 BMW, or a SL MB coupe.

An investment is something you put money into and will give you a profit when you sell it. In the automotive industry I don't think it happens very often. Maybe on a very rare Ferrari like an Enzo owned by Enzo Ferrari?!, or a very good maintained MB or BMW or Porsche or Alfa or....And needs to be all original and at least 30 or 40 years old. Other than something like that it's very rare that you make money out of it. Are there people living out of it? Sure there are. Just watch the Mecum auctions, Barret Jackson, Sotheby's, Concours d'legance auctions, Christies and so on. It needs to be a unicorn which would be like a needle in a haystack and you need to have a bunch of money to play around with.
