I haven't got a Daewoo so why would I be valuing one? 
If you want to know, you'll have to ask the right question. ;D

So you've lost roughly three grand (six good Omega's) in the short time you've owned it then, Steve. :D ;D ;D

Never mind. ;)

I haven't 'lost' anything. Buy any car from a dealer and go back a week later and ask him for a trade-in price.

If he doesn't offer at least £500 quid less he will be shot.

Depending on original price, I reckon at least 10% less.

Remember, they've got to hang on to it for at least 4-6 weeks for the V5 to come back.

So, your point is what? Exactly?

That you've pissed 10% up the wall the instant you purchase? Then there's the depreciation on top of that.

Yes....easily 10%...same for everyone. Unless you want to go down the new car route and buy loads of VAT as well. You've got to realise that you're in the minority. Most people buy new or nearly new cars, that's why the roads are full of 10,11,12,13 plate cars, not X, Y and so on.

Yes. Because their idiots.

Car tax is going up, ooh, must go buy a smaller car, for the sake of say £400 road fund, they go and spend 15k on a smaller car.

Ditto fuel costs.

Then do it all again on bloody hybrid.


Why, because they can't use a bloody spanner is why. Go to night school or sumat.

So about £60 a week on depreciation then on your Daewoo which cost £10,000. £500 for an Omega £1000 to LPG it, so you have about the same fuel running costs and no depreciation, thus £8,500 in your pocket for a rainy day.

Everybody on here sell your Omega and get yourself an inferior Daewoo you know it makes sense.  :o :o :o :o :D :D :D :D

You're missing one vital point. I don't want to drive a 11-15 year old barge, OK?
Maybe when I'm 75 or 80.

Good point, personal choice.

And on reflection it is better that you use the money on something substantial rather than regular outgoings in fees to your accountants.  :y :y :y :y
