Citations were poor cars when new. They do not become great cars as they age; they simply became old, poor cars.
Low production, high performance, niche-marketed cars are the ones that might appreciate. Old economy cars will not appreciate nearly as strongly. For instance, compare early Mustangs, with their Falcon siblings. Under the skin, the cars are similar. They offer similar performance, but the Falcon has a useable back seat. The Mustangs are always worth more; maybe 2-3 times more, maybe even more. The difference was then and still is the sporty image of the Mustang compared to the dowdy image of the Falcon. I say this as a former owner of 2 and restorer of one Falcon Sprint convertible V8.
