M6 Depreciation
Discussion
True, selling price is £76k for a £100-110k spec car.
I will be on the market soon for a new car. I like the RS6 but I dont want to spend £58-60k on a 2013 used one. I dont see these falling to £50k anytime soon. They seem to be holding their value really well.
The M6 coupe looks very tempting at £45k for a 2012. I guess there will be much room for haggling down more.
The flip slide is if the M6 loses so much, it is likely to continue to lose and I will see that on resale.

Both the new and old model retailed around 100k.
A 2012/2013 car is 45k. A 2007 car is £17k.
I guess between 3 years old to 8 years old they lose 6k p.a.
Also, the RS6 is more useable than the M6. I guess the estate form makes it more practical too. That said the interior of the M6 is a nicer place than the RS6.
Audi discount about 12-13% off a new car where as bmw discount 25-30pc.

Which now gives (as is always the case) Audi a huge headache & will cause the used values on C7 RS6's to tumble.
For whatever reason Audi offer support for their RS brand at the end of the lifecycle, however BMW chose the opposite. What this now means is the current 2013/14 used cars were bought near list when new so somewhat over inflated prices & thus when selling used the seller wants the expected equivalent of 50% over 3yrs so these cars are up close to £60k now as where £85k+ new. The problem is a brand new one can now bought for around £60-62k so what would you choose? Also worth noting the Facelift cars (late MY15) have more kit than the earlier cars so again the draw to buy new is huge when you'd get a newer & potentially better car for the same price as a 2yr old example.
I guess the price difference in a 2 year old car and a 3 year old car is quite big then. I dont want to stretch to a 2 year old car knowing full well by year 3 it will have lost buckets load.

How much is a brand new M6 available from BMW? Still around the £75-80k mark.
