I feel like a proper fcuktard nowHYFR wrote:yes, every car will lose give or take 50% in the first 3 years ... the next 3 years are where some cars can really shine such as B7 & R8W8PMC wrote: that would apply to pretty much any car
unless its a Porsche GT product which appreciates by 50% in 3 days
Was racking my brains how in Gods name YOU managed to acquire R8's & B7's without losing money & yet i'd lost 10's of thousands of ££'s in total on all the Audi's i've had over the years. Then the epiphany occurred & i recalled you're purchases were not new or nearly new so the pretty guaranteed 50% over the 1st 3yrs had already happened & you'd bought some great cars at the right point in their depreciation curve, plus owned them for a shortish time so was almost immune from the potential of further dips.
Agreed on the Porsche GT's. Pal of mine has just taken delivery of a 991 GT3 (stunning car) & paid £20k over the new list price for a 6mth old car. Had that been an RS the £20k premium would have been over £100k
