theduisbergkid Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Sellers address : Mwyndy Pontytun LLANTRISANT LLANTRISANT Rhondda Cynon Taff Is that a place, or a a very bad hand at Scrabble ? Llantrisant. The hole with the mint. That is one seriously cheap car, I would go so far as to say too cheap, just out of warranty, I wonder how straight it is ?

Mook Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 There's well sorted M5s on there for £35K - they've just tumbled in value over the past few months. First the oil price scare, then the climate nuts, now the financial uncertainty. A bit like the RS6 is now. £70K car, most of them being spec'd to over £80K new. Give them a year and they'll be selling for £50K. 2010 will see a 2008 car selling for about £25-30K I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a cheap M5 - only 33K miles too. Not even worn in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 60k to 30k in 3 years, 50% depreciation... isn't that what most German cars lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alera Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Its not that cheap at all. I have seen loads of similar M5s on for low 30s. They have almost certainly gone for that and less. So much car for the money but the economy continues to fall off a cliff and no one knows how far its got to fall. I bet you could get that car for £27 - £28k cash. Same sort of cars will be one for £25k or less in January when things really start to bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontyslapper Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I live not a million miles from that dealers. A strange outfit to say the least - some quite spicy high end stuff mixed in with lowly saxo's/fiestas and a lot of rep mobiles with big miles. Sat on the side of the main dual carriageway up from junction 34 of the M4. Llantrisant Cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFour Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 M6's are even cheaper. 997's are available for around 35K. The bargain for me at the moment is the Quattroporte coming in at less than 30K. Give it another six months and who knows what will come all over me.

alera Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Cant believe the prices on 997s. Always though they would be immune regardless. Might have one of them to replace the masser ! Edited October 18, 2008 by alera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Tone_ Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Its threads like this that make me frantically view pistonheads and autotrader for these types of cars. If I was ridiculously hard up I would stick with the 2.0tdi, but the excitement of an M5 or the like always mows my lawn! The porker will go in the new year as we buy our new house but trading in the Audi for a slightly better car (with performance) would be something I'd like to entertain but we will see what hapens. I too could not believe the price of the 997 Porkers - low £40k's for such an awsome car - I think I saw some mid £30k's as well! From one of my mates who is in the oil business he keeps warning me to stay away from any car thats got a big engine because of the tax now and what is coming! I don't always believe everything I hear but he is in the know - but paying £400 for our porker isnt a huge hit - but if it was £800 for example now that would pi$$ me off as a one off payment!!

alera Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Horrible colours on both those m5s. You can pick these up for £25k now anyway, as always very colour spec sensitive, more now than ever. So much car for the money but many buying at these prices will have little appreciation of what they will cost to run. Will be sub 20k next year and thats well and truley idiot territory. That will be scary the boy racer brigade running round with 500bhp on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You already have the older generation M5's/M3's with 280 BHP+ doing the rounds at low prices. And technically, they are scarier with less gizmos to keep the driver on the road.

Mook Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Will be sub 20k next year and thats well and truley idiot territory. So if someone buys a car for under £20K does that make them an idiot? No, that's a serious question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
