What's the difference between buying a car that depreciates against one that appreciates for car guys?

Firstly, depreciation is when a car falls in price. For example you could have bought an Mercedes AMG GT in 2015 for $150,000. Today it is worth $50,000. It has depreciated by $100,000 in just 10 years. Painfully. 

Whereas appreciation is when a car's price increases. For example you could have bought a Mercedes SL73 in 2015 for $85,000. Today it is worth over $600,000. It has appreciated by $515,000 over the same period. Don’t buy cars that lose you money. This proves you can own good cars that don’t depreciate. 

So that’s why I’ve spent a silly amount of time putting together a non-generic list of 50 best investment cars that are under-appreciated, last of their kind, and where the market of buyers is growing.
