Number 4 in the list will be at the top Lord Opti's and STEMO's desirability list.

No. 1 would do me nicely. The rest are all mud pluggers, tawt chariots or both combined, which speaks volumes, IMHO.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I think I'd be happy with the Duster.  Afterall it'd spend most of it's time sat at the airport car park while I spent the money I'd saved on depreciation on happy travels!

Number 5 please

[STEMO]

Depreciation is not too much of a worry for me. I buy used. My astra cost me £8,000 at three years old and with 8,000 miles on the clock. Someone else paid for the depreciation.

[Kevin Wood]

Depreciation is actually very handy if you buy used.

Wasn't the Lotus Carlton one of the least depreciating production Saloons of all time?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I would have thought so, yes. Cant remember how much they cost new, but a decent one will still cost around £20k, which is pretty good for a car more than 25 years old.
Like most of these types of articles, it needs to be taken with a fistful of salt.

Fella at a layby snack bar the other day reckoned my 1999 BMW 530d estate was worth £10,000! 

I offered to sell it to him.     He declined.

Yes. and you can add to that a number of recent performance cars (some 911 variants spring to mind) that have either held their value appreciated since their production.

No I gave that up.  You?

Sooner keep the cars I have & keep the cash saved to pay for holidays . If I had bought the cars that I have new they would have cost me £93,000 ! They cost me £12,750 let someone else take the big hit,complete mugs anybody who wastes that amount of cash on any vehicle.

Good stuff and at your age too!    I guess taking the whippet out every day takes you to some top spots around your way?
