911/m4

Good morning, new to forum so not sure if this is correct page, looking at getting M4 or 911, shortly, got a budget of around £50 k ish, will probably change in 3/4 years , as regards resale whats in peoples opinion is going to get me best deal, originally buying outright , but been offered finance deals etc , only really weekend vehicle so very low annual mileage, thanks

Would it not depend on spec / colour / condition? Say a nice colour with lots of options would be better than a base model in a bad colour.

Do many people actually worry about what their car will be worth in 3 or 4 years when it comes to sell it on? Just buy it and enjoy it.

What has resale in 3-4 years got to do with it?

Have you driven either car yet? If so, which did you prefer?

That's probably the one you should buy

Daily driver - M4
Weekend toy - 911

The arse has fallen out of the F8* cars to a certain extent, thanks mainly to big discounts and low/zero APR deals by BMW.. there have been a lot of cars shifted, which has impacted the value of used cars, so I'd personally be very wary about dropping £50k into one unless you're prepared to absorb the depreciation.

If you are able to increase your budget or are comfortable looking at finance options for the difference; then you may be able to sniff around and get a good deal on an M3/M4 CS, which should hold its value better than a standard/competition pack model.

How is it people don't consider it? Given it might have a strong bearing on what you can afford to replace said car with in 3-4 years time, surely its prudent to give it some thought?!

Fwiw - Unless I had kids, or a REAL need for usable rear seats/a boot, the M4 would not even be a consideration out of those two.

A 911 will retain its value better. No doubt.
