Been reading some posts about what to buy and what not to buy because of depreciation and its got me thinking!
How much have i lost through depreciation over the years and can you guys top these eye watering amounts?

This is just a selection of my best buys!

Own 996tt x50 now, i paid £104k 16months ago and its value now is about £75k Loss of £29k.

Owned 996tt from 02/03 for 12 months and lost £19k

Owned Boxster S 02/03 for 12 months and lost £8k

Owned Audi S3 01/02 for 12 months and lost £7.5k

Owned Ford Rs Turbo for 7 months and lost £7k

No wonder im always skint.

I think Guy will be King if he were to build up the courage to tell all, problem is thinking of the losses could be detrimental.
With regards to the Boxster yes i sold it back to a dealer but it needed a front end respray because it looked like i had shot blasted it.
