is a cunt !
Have to sell my car as my work's car allowance scheme will not support cars that pass a certain age.
I have chosen the car I want and am negotiating the deal etc, only to be told that my motor is worth £2500 !
FFS !
I have had it for 3 years (including a year that I didnt drive !), had it serviced and new MOT, not to mention 4 new tyres
I paid well over £12k for it three years ago and I loose £10k in two years driving
Do one and fuck off economy !
There
Rant over

what make and model is your old one? how many miles?
my car cost £260 so i'm not so concerned about depreciation. i'll probably break it before i get to sell it.

the 2nd picture is the rover 400 series (414si i think) the ZT i believe was modeled on the rover 600 or rover 75 the MG ZS is the one modeled on the 400/45 series. and the ZR on the 200 series or 25

They're not just "modelled on" are they. They're pretty much the same car with different trim. The depreciation is a bastard but it can't have been helped by the manufacturer having gone tits up. |

It's not just Rovers anymore, loads of cars are depreciating at a crazy rate, although Rover/MG more so since going bust, I agree there. Saab will be the next to go bust in all likelihood so don't buy one of those. |
