Default future value?

Im looking into getting a sti v9 uk or jdm spec in white, standard. What is the depreciation looking to be on one of these? Doesn't bother me, just curious, is it possible to become a future classic?

Thanks

They are holding value well, even more so a jdm rarer the model the better i remember when ra's and spec c's were worth nothing, nobody wanted them but now highly sought after cars now.

The more OE the better for retaining value.
Many models will go up as the current trend of attaching arch kits with wood screws, sticker bombing or glueing on tatt is good for the unmolested and well maintained cars.

Good running Scooby's turbos even basic wrx'd will never reach scrap value like say Vauxhalls fiats Peugeots alphas etc.
why? Because they are a iconic performance car with a good reliability record and getting rare. Were produced in low numbers buy a niche company That generally diddnt make crap cars.

Although I don't know what there playing at these days, the old legends will aways live on. And there will always be demand epically for the rare ones

Unless you buy a modded car for cheap for that exact reason. Sell the expensive add ons get cheap ready available stock replacements and hey presto.

You have a "unmolested looking car worth much more and with extra money from the fancy wheels nurspec intercooler and what ever elce was bolted on (epically brembos on a wrx or classic)
