The future values of three particular cars...
Discussion
Due to business not going as well as I would have wanted, I have decided to leave the new car for approx 18 months. The three I am interested in are the E92 M3, C63 & GTR35.
I have been watching the prices of these very closely over the past 12 months or so and have seen some interesting price changes. Largely the M3 has depreciated the most out of the 3, the C63 has recently started to depreciate at M3 levels and good UK GTR's seem to stall at around £36-38k.
Therefore can someone give me their insight in to the future value of these cars over the following 18 months.
BMW M3
I assume there will be a face lifted M3 due very soon so this may hit current values? Will the depreciation curve increase once the face lift is released? Market saturation when 3 year old cars start getting chopped in etc.
Will good spec, condition & mileage E92 coupes & Saloons drop below the £19k mark? Cabrio's £22k?
Mercedes C63
There is already a face lifted C63 hence the earlier explained depreciation increase, but is there anything else in the pipeline i.e. all new C-class etc? Will the newly launched coupe effect value any further in 18m time?
Good mileage & spec cars be had for £21k?
Nissan GTR
These seem very strong sellers around the £38k mark, very few seem to drop below this level (UK cars at least), will the face lifted car effect values of the older shape in just 18 months time? Any reason why these stick around this price level so well and is there anything you can see happening that would drop them down in price dramatically?
Low mileage, good condition UK examples for under £30k? If so how soon before they drop into the £30k category?
I understand these are not cheap cars to run, I know fully how much they cost due to extensive research (and yes I know all the GTR horror stories), I'm just trying to put a savings plan together for the deposit & further monthly installments after that.
Interested to hear any ones opinion, especially those "in the know" i.e. any one who shifts high end cars for a living.
