Are you driving a Red A4 Cabriolet now? :O

Yep, life depreciates much faster than a nice sports car after you get over 40...

You're daily vehicle - no, but I've bought and sold a few classics with results. It's hard work though.

Never understood that breed of man that buys a car he desperately loves and then leaves it in a garage all week while their life drains away driving something not unlike a Golf TDI...

I drive mine daily and in another 5 years it might be run in

Every penny and I have watched it depreciate roughly a grand a month. Eventually it will bounce a bit but you dont buy a car for an investment.

The question is the new car ££££ much nicer than your Saab? Yes, my Mum's new Benz was a good degree nicer than either of the two smokers I've had, but not tens of thousands nicer. Depends on the amount of spare cash you have I guess.

When I say filthy, I'm not talking about the colour, the car is a total mess. Both the colour and its state are a deliberate two fingers up.

A mate of mine treated his brand new Jag like that (his name was down for a brand new Aston ).
Rubbish and fag ash everywhere, rizlas, cans etc. etc. total state

It's "filthy" like that...

That's the thing - bright colour can help prevent accident as the car is more visible than black (that I had).

filthy lime green Bentley Continental GT known to man.

The depreciation is horrific.

It's depreciation of ones life one should worry about ...

[The_Equalizer]

That is the thing. I have heard of a Land Rover owner who buys a brand new one every 3 months. Never cleans it or anything.

A friend's dad drivers round the shadier parts of south London (or at least what used to be) collecting his rent money in the most filthy lime green Bentley Continental GT known to man. It has all the accoutrements of a builder's van.

I went from a 51 plate Saab with only 120k on the clock and a full Saab City London service history to my new car and I can tell you even with all the servicing you can get it's not as nice as a comfy warm new car when you are driving up the m4 in the rain.

You only live once.

The depreciation is horrific. As soon as you leave the showroom you are down 20%(okay - 16.666% to shut up *******) as no-one will pay you back the VAT.

And whenever you leave it anywhere you worry.

You’re right. I will use the money saved to pay for a blow job with a hooker when driving along the M4
