Hadnt thought of that little depreciation any1 ever drivwn one on the road and what are maintainence costs like and isnt the diff supposed make it quite difficult to drive

They are getting on a bit but parts aren't particularly expensive.

Great cars to drive, I liken it a bit to a megane R26 but twice the money and more bespoke and special/valuable. The R26 does give a similar experience for half the money though.

The cars on your list will lose lots in depreciation but the trade off is much newer cars.

Any other suggestions like that. That are more likely to appreciate in value

Most of the cars on your list will depreciate,the MK1 RS will hold it's money or if it does depreciate it'll be minimal but that'll also depend on how much you use it & how well you maintain it.

Or if you can stretch the budget a RS265 Trophy will depreciate a little more slowly than the standard car subject to useage.

If it's going to be your daily driver then you can get nice cars in budget & don't worry about the depreciation:

Kia C'eed GT Tech (as a daily hard to beat especially with 5 years warranty left) not as engaging as others but a good car nonetheless.
