Yeah, amazing VFM (in the states)

Exactly VFM in the states.... not on treasure island UK.
£54K nissan GET REAL!!! also delaying the UK launch has not helped them either or being ULTRA greedy by threatening to sue anyone who imports one early

My 3 year old Japanese car (s2000) is worth 67% of what I paid for it. I can't think of many cars that beat that for residuals

Same for my Type-R, 17k new and still going for 11-12k on Autotrader 3 years on, though the fact that people were unimpressed with the new one may have something to do with that.

You do have to work it hard to get the most out of it and maybe it does have a bit of a boy racer image but I bought it for myself as I wanted something that was cheap, fast, reliable and practical, I really don’t give a toss what other people think.

Can't get youtube but I assume it's the nissan
Gt-R whatever?

I wouldn't mind the RS4 but the new one isn't automatic. Instead I bought an Alpina B3 Biturbo which is faster than them all, better fuel economy, better CO2 emissions, more exclusive and more important, a fair bit cheaper. They called me last week to say they had started building it now...

Ahhh a true petrol head I salute you sir on your perfect choice

[darmstadt]

M3 will be cheaper of the two RS4 still to expensive for me I'm afraid. I've driven the last model M3 and loved it so I'll put this in the maybe pile along with the SL's

now I wonder if they'll take one of my lungs and my burd as a Part Ex

[EqualOpportunities]

Why does it have to go? You have a nice car there……

What about a nice sporty IS200? Reasonably priced and holds it value very nicely….

Didn't take you long to turn into a proper permie, did it...

Not really but I also didn't want a car worth nothing at the end, I almost bought a Z4 instead for the residuals, but it was duller and the build quality wasn't as good as the Honda. Since the BMW residuals have slipped as the build quality issues have surfaced.




Add the Range Rover and I might consider it. Having said that who wants one of those POS?

I'm actually considering going back to my pushbike this is the most I've ever lost on a car although to be fair my boxster is the original shape and since then there have been two facelifts which haven't helped much.

[Bagpuss]

Ahhh but I bet you didn't buy it for it's residuals when you first bought it?

I'll give you a fiver for it.
