Please explain about an exponentially increasing number of Foci for sale is not going to have a devastating effect on residuals?

Please explain how having less than 5% of the production for sale is as devastating as you make out?

Not if they are selling to WBAC, no. I'm still sitting here in a state of genuine bewilderment that people seem unable to grasp such a simple concept.
Why would they sell to WBAC when the other online trade buyers offer £24k+ ?

Is that seriously what we've come to ... completely changing my name and content and then 'laughing at it'? Incidentally, I used the word exponentially in a completely correct context - every day, more and more Foci go on sale. More and more people wondering why they aren't getting calls for their car on sale at £28k ... sigh.

He doesn't know and doesn't care.

In other news, I point blank refuse to pay anyone, anything for a Focus RS. Which in my book means they're worthless and good for scrap only.

Every day more and more are being sold new than are sold used. A couple of posters in this very thread have said how they recently got £27k for a car that cost £30k a year ago. Thats probably better than any comparable car has done by way of depreciation.

You illogical obsession with the RS is bewildering. Also I thought you were leaving having already made a fool of yourself several timrs? You just can't get enough.

At least I can spell, good sir. Going to go back and edit your post like you did last time to make it look like you're capable of spelling correctly? Face it, the world's moved on. Enjoy your bright blue cars with drift mode and the crippling PCP payments involved, I'm off to go order a Megane RS.

Oh yes, I Must struggle to spell "times" rather than it be a typo due to using a phone. Muppet.

I sure will enjoy my bright blue car as it is absolutely great (which you might know about if you had ever driven one) but as it is all bought and paid for as are my other cars sorry but I won't be "enjoying pcp payments" as I don't have any.

The chances of you buying a new megane RS are slim to none, and even if you did manage to squirrel enough pennies together, well you are welcome to it. AWD > AWS.

Maybe you should try some test drives if you are actually considering buying a car (which I doubt) rather than just go off looks.

Oh and if you want to talk depreciation and WBAC after a year with a £30k megane we will have a great time. rofl

The bitterness is strong in this one bahahahahaha. I'm off now to update my profile on here to state that I own loads of cars outright as well so I can be a big shot too, well done.

Bonus points for knowing exactly about my financial situation to the point of being able to confidently declare that my chances of buying a new Megane are slim to none bahahaha.

The new Mégane R.S. is without doubt very impressive and I'm sure will be able to teach the Focus RS a thing or two.

What it will most definitely not be is a safe place to put your money. Take a look at the price of a Mégane 250 compared with a Focus RS of similar vintage. eek

Hilarious rofl
I'm no big shot, I have one moderately expensive car and 2 £6k cars, nothing special when one £50k car would eclipse the value of these easily. Hardly some mclaren etc (but I'm only in my 30s so hopefully one day). I can easily prove ownership without writing out a fake profile unlike it would seem you would have to.

You on the other hand are coming across as a bitter fantasist with a huge inferiority complex, a massive chip on your shoulder and an odd irrational hatred of a car. I pity you.

Ok well on balance I think even with these extra bells and whistles Im more tempted by the new Megane RS. The world moves on. It looks a better car where it matters even without silly gimmicks. Plus I note many RS defenders actually flogged theirs already so there we go.
You're moaning about depreciation and you are considering a Megane RS?

. The Type R is the new daddy of hyper hatches and even that is under threat from the Megane RS.

It just isn't. And they will struggle to sell many as it looks even worse than the last one..

The Megane will be great, but it's not powerful enough and they lose money big time so will be a rare sight on the roads.

I think everyone who writes about Ford Focus RS's should ignore all messages sent by Humandoing,

I don't understand his obsession with RS's but he seems to feel the need to always respond to posts about them for some reason.

I think he is just here to wind everyone up. Why would someone "feel good" that people are (in his opinion) lose a load of money when buying a Focus RS.

How can someone get satisfaction in trying to prove that everyone who bought one bought the wrong car as depreciation is terrible (according to him).

Don't bother replying to me Humandoing as I won't respond to you.
