We haven't talked about cars for a long time

let's talk about cars

very interesting, I am starting to side with other folk regarding buying a new car, and would rather stay with what I have and not have all of the latest gadgets

the Mack Anne is now two years old and has (the equivalent of) 25 thousand miles and according to the second hand adverts, were we to sell it, the going price is now more than we paid for it two years ago - which is cool - that car is going to be a keeper - thankfully it is as analogue as you can get

the Ex Cinq has (the equivalent of) 55 thousand miles and is 4 and half years old, beautiful car and fully loaded, and also interesting, the depreciation seems to have slowed and might be ticking upwards

and the way the new cars are going with all of buttons being replaced by touch screens, same with the (2021) Ex Cinq, very analogue compared to what's on the market today and what's coming

I have the feeling it's time to hold

what are your thoughts

p.s. of course the outlier, the Kay Manne is a keeper

The older the better as far as I'm concerned. I'd even happily go back to windy windows.

I could even do without PAS at a push. As for screens, no thanks.

When we hire cars on holiday, all I want in terms of frills is aircon, but even the most bog standard models come with screens and driver assist stuff.

Very smart. It certainly looks in a lot better nick than my 2007 TT.

IMO, it's better looking than the latest 370Z.

FTFY

An excellent choice.

I have the Porsche Enyaq vRS and it's best family car I've owned as an all-round do-it all daily.

Big heavy hector so not much of a vRS, but any faster and the kids would be painting the inside the same as the asbo green outside...
