If you're worried about depreciation, you cant afford it. Either buy something cheaper or do as I do and buy cars that appreciate 
I'm embarrassed for you over how cringe-worthy and clichéd this comment is. 
k I'm talking about and I'm not embarrassed, please explain why its cringe-worthy.DuraAce said:
It does sound a bit 'special'
Why not educate the OP, and us, on what car he should be buying that will appreciate.....
Ok, He could buy a quality car like a 1990s Mercedes and look after it. It will drive better than a lot of the crap on the roads today and it will appreciate in value. Or is he like you, and worries what people will think of him driving an older car?Why not educate the OP, and us, on what car he should be buying that will appreciate.....

I may be due a whoosh parrot here but that is one of the most ignorant, most idiotic, most "special" (as another poster said) thing I have read in a long time.Thousands upon thousands of people can easily afford it, but choose to know what it is/will be.
An example is myself: When I bought my car I could easily afford to replace it had I written it off after a day, I still could do so today, I can easily afford it. However, according to you, because I check how much equivalent cars are going for so I know how much depreciation I have suffered then I can't afford it? What a load of crap...
Why do I care how much I have lost? I hear you ask, because it's still lost money!

Anyone know of UK market based website that give historical prices if a given car/model over time in the second hand market? I'm surprised autotrader doesn't do it as they have the data .
Trying to figure out the depreciation on some potential cars I'm interested in

If I was worried about depreciation I wouldn't have bought a Ford..... contrary to the general assumption German cars are best and badge envy that seems prevelant in this country, I have a more exclusive car compared to the common German ones.Trying to figure out the depreciation on some potential cars I'm interested in

But what if our OP can easiliy afford the depreciation and just wants to forecast it?
Then he is not worried about it I can afford my mortgage payments, but I still want to know what they are in advance of signing on the dotted line... maybe by asking my broker he now assumes I can’t afford them...
It’s called financial planning. I’m reliability informed that many very successful people / businesses are quite keen on it...
