997 depreciation
I have a 2004 997 Carrera 2S with only 14k miles. The car is absolutely mint. I was offered Pounds43k for it in April, six months later I can't get a bid on the car!
I suppose the fact it is still nearly 50% after 4 years is actually quite good, but it makes paying Pounds50k for a facelift model seem just to high a cost to change.
I'm sort of glad I didn't buy a facelift a few months ago - I predict the depreciation on new 997 FL is going to be horrendous! I know people say don't worry about depreciation, just drive it etc but when you work hard for your money it still hurts when you're going to lose Pounds20k at least in a year (if not more).
I can't see all the OPC surviving - they have spent millions in the past couple of years on flash new showrooms and I just don't think the sales are going to be there for some time.
The only good thing is maybe I will be able to pick up a bargain F430 in January and make it a keeper for 5 or 6 years and I think that will level out at around Pounds7k per year.
