gino128 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 [ QUOTE ] True but mainly in its first year. So if you can get hold of a nearly new one (as i think a well specked new one will cost a lot more than £30K) then it would have shed most of it in its firs year.(my humble opinion) [/ QUOTE ] totally agree with you on the year old front. Can't see why anyone would want a brand new car - apart from model changes, a 2005 car looks identical to a 2004 car so why pay for the depreciation. A friend of mine bought a brand new disco 3 SE, but surely a nearly new one of the new model would have saved him several grand and be almost as new?

Pidge Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 If you look about you can easily pick up a highly specced year old car for 2/3 new list price or if you're prepared to use an auction you'll buy for even less eg. Audi UK use auctions for their demonstrator stock, surely others do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
