In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) investement property is, in short, property held for capital appreciation or rental income. In accordance with this standard the property is initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value, remeasured through profit and loss (I have assumed that you have not taken the election to measure the vehicle under the cost model). The journal entry would therfore be
Dr Inverstement Car
Cr Bank/Accounts Payable
Subsequent changes to the fair value are measured through Profit and Loss being:
Dr Fair Value Loss (P/L)
Cr Investement Car
Loss on Fair Value adjustment for a decrease
Or:
Dr Investement Car
Cr Fair Value Income
Gain on fair value adjustment increase in value
This is in contrast to any other asset held as Property, Plant and Equipment as, most noticably, the asset is not depreciated (assumed elected fair value model elected) and any increases in value are not recognised in Other Comprihensive Income but in Profit and Loss.
