checkout the latest Autocar

nice 2 page spread covering the classic as an affordable second hand supercar...reckons value of 8,000 -15,000 mile 02 spec should be £29k now and should be worth £25k after another 5 years! (lordie I would like to think so )

quite a good write up and plenty of quotes from our Simon.

Nice one!

Is that depreciation figure realistic? Seems high compared to the Porsche/Esprit. I could see it for 3 years time perhaps?

Perhaps its banking on the limited availability.

Spot on - it's exactly in line with what I got as trade in for my "old leggy" M12.

Given I got that at a dealer, private values would be higher, although keeping in the marque obviously helped.

I was talking about the 25k value in 5 years time. Seems optimistic for a car that they peg at 29-30 at the moment.

The av. mileage figure is a bit scarey. We must be a microcosm of Noble ownership here in that we actually use the cars!

Why?

My elise is worth exactly the same now it's nearly 7 years old as it was when it was 4.

My quattro is worth the same 24 years on as it was when it was 5 years old (infact, slightly more if you don't take inflation into account).

TVRs are pretty 'falt' after 3-4 years, as are most other "sports cars" I've ever seen/bought.

This isn't a repmobile you know!
