Back to the OP,the 3 series is replaced in a couple of months so the new toy is going to be out of fashion very quickly.
This is quite an interesting thread on how to lose money with cars...
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...2E%2E%2E&mid=0
"The winners here are all going to be German high-end cars which have been loaded with extras - because that's the basic recipe for massive monetary loss...
There was someone on here who loaded an M6 with about £20+ of extras and then saw it throw about £50K in value over a couple of years "
"Consecutively:
£29,000 on a Merc S600L in 15 months.
£11,000 on a Porsche Cayenne in 7 months.
£15,000 on a Bentley Flying Spur in 8 months.
So £55,000 over 30 months."Last edited by Bagpuss; 17 October 2011, 18:13.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

If you bought that car you'd need the house to go with it

Wow, all this hostility because a Kia Cee'd is tulip.
I haven't, and wouldn't, bought brand new since the 90's. You tell me that a Kia picanto only loses £3.5k over 3 years, and an S65 AMG over £110k, but, please tell me how much you'd lose on a 3 year old Picanto and a 3 year old Merc e320cdi estate over 3 years? Tell me which one you'd rather be sat on if you did happen to have an accident, and which one you'd rather be in to drive the 900 miles to your summer house in Aquitaine?
What people are missing here, is that a Kia Cee'd costs up to £19k. For that, you cna have a low mileage 320d, e320cdi estate, Audi 2.0tdi, and many, many other cars of much better quality, and miuch better depreciation. a 2/3 old Merc has lost most of the money it's going to lose, will feel a million dollars, will deliver big miles, and is just the better car.
Buying a Kia Cee'd from brand new will see you lose £5k walking out of the showroom to the car park to drive it for the first time. It will feel tulip after 30k, it will look tulip after 3 years, and is fundamentally a tulip car.
What makes me laugh the most, however, is that sasguru seems to think I have an issue with the size of my penis, because I have stated it, Jedi has lambasted me for falling for perceived quality by marketing (yet admits he would buy an Audi) and it does appear, that anyone who likes cars, and has aspirations for a nice car, is a
, possibly only by the people who've shown no imagination in their car purchasing.
Buy a Cee'd and everyone who knows you, will know you're a dull, unimaginative sucker, ripe for middle age, slippers and cardy.Comment

The previous owner of my GL420 CDI dropped £45k in 22 months.Originally posted by Bagpuss View Post
M6 will lose a shed load. I saw a year old one for £49,995, which was £88k with the extras brand new, and would drop a further £25k over the next couple of years; you can see 3 year old 30k mile ones for £20k if you hunt around. 3 year old 730d will cost around £20 and was £55k new. You can find some great metal out there for around £15-20k if you're not criminally short of imagination...Comment
