The year is 2022, what car bargains are out there?

[jimxms]

I do wonder how things will have changed in 10 years. Will we still be able to get the barge bargains we can now, or will the government make introduce tighter emmissions rules or crazy tax on 2nd hand cards to encourage us to buy new?

Anyway, my prediciton is...



Lexus LS600H
135,000 miles

3,500GBP

The Toyota GT/FT-86 will become a victim of it's own sucess and become a chav favourite, causing massive depreciation. I hope!

[Dave Hedgehog]

petrols £6.00 a ltr, we are at war with Iran and MP's are now entitles to 400k a year in incidental expenses

[Patrick Bateman]

Half of the stuff will probably be a nightmare as a used buy given the complexity now.

Peugeot 107s still haven't depreciated

A Gwhizz or perhaps some electric 4x4..
Sounds crazy but with rapid progress I do feel 2022
Could be airborne as roads awash with hybrids/electric carriers..
Petrol may all have been used up..?
Depends on so many things..

we have enough oil for at least the next 200 years, probably an awful lot longer as the technology to extract it improves

Bargains will depend on individual circumstances - anything with high fuel consumption will be ruinously expensive to run and subject to continuous petty persecution about where it can be driven and parked. If these factors don't matter because of where you live and how you use it, you could get a bargain.

I suspect that high performance diesels will be very cheap for people willing to gamble against massive bills if something goes wrong - I think that once cars like this depreciate to the extent that they are at risk of being written off by the kind of big bill they are very capable of dropping, they will fall into the V12 Jag depreciation death spiral.

I do hope so..
"Fire Up The Quattro"
Sounds much better than...
"Plug In the Hybrid"
