The Telegraph's take on performance car depreciation

[aww999]

"Make no mistake: we love the Renault Megane Trophy-R; in fact, we reckon it's about the most exciting hot hatch money can buy. But there's no hiding its steep depreciation, which will see a brand new example you could buy today for £36,430 lose £29,016 over the course of three years, making it worth just £7,414 by then. Sounds like a true performance car bargain to us!"

This doesn't sound entirely accurate to me?

No, that sounds like someone has looked up some figures and plonked them down on the article without really thinking about whether they're sensible.

Sounds like they're using the figures for the standard RS Megane, although even then £7400 is quite a low trade-in price.

I can't wait for those prices. A bit like when the 1M was quoted as being £14k after 3 yrs when it came out too, longest 3 yr wait ever
