I watched the report on 5th gear earlier with the 4.2 Audi A8 Diesel Quatro, if I was spending loadsa dosh on a new motor then the Quatro I think would be for me.
Shame it looks like an overgrown A4 though.

i can't get my head round spending 10,20,30 grand on a car that will be worth around 1,4,5 grand in 10 years time.
i have had cars years and because i bought them well i got my money back or in some cases they went up.
then theres the cost of fixing them :o

That's why companies buy them and claim tam and depreciation against them.

tell that to my dippy mate who lost about 25 grand of his kids inheritance buying new cars and losing out.
i have bought jags and run them and cleaned them up and made money on them because i can present a car correctly.
i know if i bought a new 60 grand m5 it would be worth 20 ish in say 5 years and 30k miles.
if you buy the best sought after omega for 2 grand i bet it won't lose 40 grand in 5 years lol.
-
have to agree, most i've spent is £6k on the beemer, and thats going to hold its value well. When time comes to sell i will get what i paid for it, or very, very close.
Car wise if i had to get something for decent miles i would spend 5-10k on something new-ish and semi decent.
Omegas are getting too old now and there are no other really good cheap RWD saloons around

yes theres exceptions to the rule and homologation rally specials are one of them although we were talking about luxury saloons which don't hold their values the same, i guarantee most 60's,70's,80's performace rally models go up in value (dunno about renault 21 turbos lol).
I had a 3dr cosworth i bought for 3 grand gbp in 2001 that i sold for 6 grand gbp in 2003,that cars worth around 17k euros now (it was a left hooker and thats what they are doing abroad).
i know for a fact though a 1987 audi 100 cd or a bmw 525 with everything on it that would of cost 20 ish grand new is worth about the same as a decent pair of shoes :D

I'll keep my omega. ::)
