Afternoon,

Thinking of buying a FFRR but can't decide if I should go for the new model or a run-out of the old one. The purchase price is less relevant than the overall cost of ownership i.e. depreciation. Bearing that in mind and on the basis I tend to keep cars for 3+ years am I better to buy new and trade-in in three years or buy old and trade up in three years?

All advice welcome!

P

Perhaps, though I should have prefixed my question with the fact I have driven the new FFRR & Sport and found them both to be very impressive. Having said that I've spent quite sometime in the old shape FFRR and find it a pretty good place to be!

Having started this thread I thought I'd give a brief update.

I've bought neither to date and am still bashing around in the E class Mercedes family wagon. I'm glad other things have got in the way of an upgrade as my two young children and living in central London have taken quite a toll on the E.

As the kids are a bit older now I'll swap the E in for a VW Golf in the summer (town duties) and buy a used L405 in the autumn.
