Frequently Asked Questions

Which car leads the Convertibles That Are Appreciating in Value list?

The 2022 Ferrari F8 Spider currently ranks first, gaining 16.5% per year since 2024, based on verified auction sales tracked by DriveIndex.

What do the cars on this list cost?

Market values across these 30 cars range from $15,793 to $4,820,750. Every value is computed from real sold prices (never estimates) and is recomputed twice a day as new auction results land.

Where does the data come from?

Every market value is backed by real sold prices aggregated from the world's leading collector-car auction houses and marketplaces, never estimates or speculation. Read how values are computed on the DriveIndex methodology page.

How often is this page updated?

Daily. New auction results are collected every day and values are recomputed twice a day, so this list of 30 cars re-ranks automatically.
