Will Cavaliers be valuable down the road?

It might sound silly, but people said 1960s Mustangs would be worthless down the road due to their having been millions of them manufactured.


Now, I get that those cars were more quality-made than the plasticy Cavalier, but my question stands: Do you think, 20, 30, 40+ years from now, if you have a stick-shift Cavalier (or even an automatic) that it could actually go UP in value?

There is an old saying; If it was popular in its day,,, it will be again. Years ago, few ever thought the GTO, Chevelle, or even Grand Prix would ever be worth much. Try to buy a decent one now.

There is a good chance some Z24's may go up someday. The supply is very low, after cash for clunkers destroyed so many. I'm keeping all of my 2nd gens, but not because I think they may be worth big money, just because they are the last of the cars that have features I want, without all the crap I don't want. I tell people, 1994 is my cut off date. I don't want anything newer. So, even if they went through the roof some day, I'd probably still keep them.

I think it is based on nostalgia. If people have disposable income and a yearning for a car from their youth then they will hold some value. However, this will need to balanced by the cost of restoration. Look at bring a trailer. People buy (and spend more than I ever thought they would) on all sorts of weird cars.

Well, with Radwood getting more popular every day, I can see some comeback ... :-)

You won’t see big money- but old timers or folks that simply like the style well pick em up...

Seen a few 1st gens creeping toward 4-5k. They are getting quite rare now......

Occasionly I will be crusing around and see an old 60s compact car - convertibles, coupes, four doors and I'm like what is that?...... I wonder if a cav would have that effect down the road?


Maybe a mint manual Z24 will hold the highest value?

I was watching this oldie on eBay and not only was his reserve not met, but he didn't even get a bid (you might have to log into eBay to go to the "finished" auctions to see it). 1987 Z24 v6 with stick shift:
