Tiger residual. Should I care?

[markburnt]

Anybody have any idea on how the Tiger B6 residuals are?

Should I care? Or just have as much fun in one as possible.

Think you've answered your own question really

Definitely answered your own question, and just compare pretty much any kit to a production car of similar performance - costs more and will cost you more in depreciation...

Not exactly clear was I - IMHO, a production car of comparable performance will cost MORE to buy and MORE in depreciation. And running costs as well....

From my limited experience of the kit car market, then other than Caterham and Westfield everything else is much the same from a depreciation point of view.

Not neccesarily....

IMO, if you buy wisely (secondhand) you should be able to buy a good Tiger for around 8/9k, run it for 3 years and get around 6/7 back at least, probably better than a production car of similar value, Punto, Polo, Fiesta, Nova etc....


Only if you buy a new FACTORY BUILT one will you stand to drop a packet........
