£10k is OK if you don't mind the horrible build quality, and don't intend selling it on. Buy it, drive it, scrap it.

It'll lose less value than a similarly spec'd Ford in absolute terms. A Focus now costs around 18k for a similar spec

They're mostly idiots on there - I've seen someone post a fantastic deal on Lings Cars and everyone slates it as they don't seem to understand how leasing works.

It's not something I'd go out and buy with my own cash, but if space for minimum outlay on a brand new car is the overiding concern it's a good deal, if not the most exciting.

So what? A new car with a manufacturer's warranty that you can run for four years or so with no bills other than servicing? Let's say after four years it's worth £2K trade in. That's £2K a year to run a modern, new car.

That's depreciation people can live with I'd say...

Porsches may be worth a larger percentage of new cost as older cars - but the absolute depreciation in cash terms will be lots higher because they cost more.

Was this the car that had the "Buy one get one free" offer on one of the brokers last year?
