The ones with easily hacked firmware since it’ll eventually need to be replaced by open source alternatives.
Dacias, cause they have the least amount of electronics that's legally allowed.
Good news!
Hear me out...
It's a design classic, it just needs converting to electric
Great pick!
The Twingo was very polarising at Renault in its day. It was a fresh air through the make's boring boxy designs of the day and it can be had with a fully opening roof (not a convertible).
They may well give off the same vibe in 20 years as the 2cv does today. A more modern body and suspension with a happy face but less impressive history. They are not considered memorable today but I wouldn't mind seeing them around on oldtimer shows.
Given the tiny engine, I suspect fuel consumption will be ok and it may thus be converted a few years down the line when it is cheaper.
I think that the panther body ford/mercury/Lincoln could become more desirable in the future. They're the last body on frame American v8 cars. They're seen as a disposable car. It's popular to frame swap onto an f100 and use them for demolition derbies. They'll become exceedingly rare in the next ten years. There's a special model called the mercury marauder.

I still have mine from college years. That thing will just not give up, but I love having a car paid off for as long as I can go.
I wish I still had mine. Just a smooth af car to drive.
Honda Element. Unique styling, good utility.
Challenger. Dodge stopped making them after the 2023 model. They are reliable and just keep rising in value. People hold on to these cars.
I bought a used 2019 with 14k miles on it. Now it has close to 80k and it's worth $6000 more than I paid for it.
