Merc 300TE 4Matic with a lot of options was probably around £55k in 1992. Which was a lot.

I paid less than a grand. Which isn't.

2006 Bmw touring a dirty diesel one. Bought it at 3 years old for 14k, new it was around mid 30's. Had it for nearly 6 years now. Handy thing to chuck mine and the lads mountain bikes in. Still keep it tidy, owes me nothing so I'm going to run it too it dies.

I think my '93 BMW 325i coupe was around £22k new, and £2.6k at a specialist dealer when I bought it last year.

£51,440 new (no idea what the options cost the original owner) £22,000 used.

McLaren 12C Spider. £200k new. I paid just over £140k with only 812 miles on it. I am pleased to say that after only 2 months of ownership I have got the mileage up to 3600

Another R129 here, well specced in 1997 it was what £65k? £8k two years ago with 71000 miles and two owners, the second one paid £45k for it in 2001.

[kiethton]

My E39 540i sport with a few individual options ticked must have cost the first owner about £45k? In January 2003

I paid £2900 in August 2013....

(And the same again since making it perfect...)

Bought a 2005 Db9 for 40k in 2009 list price was 119k sold it 3 years later for 35k with 50,000 miles on it.

£1000 a year depreciation sounds fine to me, you purchased new and kept it long enough to beat the system

[marksx]

No idea what my Mondeo was new (2001 2.0 petrol Zetec estate), but I paid £600 for it in March this year. 80000 miles on it and no rust.

What will it have been, around £15k?

2009 Mundano, list price £23k, bought at 3 years old with just 4,000 miles on the clock for £9k.

Probably paid over the odds for the year, but a 4000 mile car for less than half price had to be done.
