Saw a grey CUP360 today at B&C - stunning looking car.
A question that bugs me though, why is demand weak compared to that of a GT4? GT4's are a track orientated car and asking prices are £100k+
The CUP is a very capable car but the run of 50 haven't been sold (the car i viewed was number 27 IIRC) Why?
I was pretty much ready to pull the trigger until i researched residual values on the Exige S and Cup models. We all know that new cars (normally except low run cars such as GT4 etc) lose money but with "trade" values of a 2 year old Cup being circa £45k i'm struggling to reconcile a £20,000 hit across 2 years?

Most cars depreciate about that amount from new so nothing really new there. GT4/3RS are just in a crazy gold rush/buying madness in the Uk at the moment. Most of them seemed to be brought as investments to flip to people who dropping 100K for another car is nothing. Nice cars, but man you'll be having more fun in the V6 IMO and isn't that whats its all about?
