Why does the number of owners have an effect on value?
Discussion
It's always confused me. If you have two cars the same, one with 8 owners and a one-owner car, why will the one-owner be worth more in general?
I've viewed cars in the past that were one-owner vehicles that have been ragged, uncared for and just used as a workhorse - picking up kids, taking stuff to the dump etc, yet I have also seen 5/6+ owner cars that have passed from one anal, owners club member to another, all fettled and polished and cuddled every night before bed with a very regular splashing of Dodo juice (or whatever substance) all over it's behind.
I know one should always buy on condition and how it's been looked after, but just always wondered why high owner cars are always worth less, all things being equal?
