Just as an aside, just read that new car sales in the U.K. are down by c 10 percent this year while up in many other European countries and that JLR is cutting c 1.000 jobs in its U.K. production facilties - if this is a sign of things to come, then people in the U.K. might have other worries than buying older non-collector supercars in the mid-price bracket, so you might get your wish of falling prices. Wait and see probably a smart move for the time being
Yep businesses are going under ppl are struggling so they may need to free up cash and sell for what they can get! I reckon by next year prices will be lower by the year after maybe at rock bottom especially during winter months when ppl need money and the cars are unused! Not everyone who runs these type of cars are millionaires Unless you're a speculator, the best way to stay sane is to regard the capital outlay of buying one of these cars as sunk money. If you hope or - even worse - rely on getting that 60k, 80k or however many ££s back in the future, it takes the edge off the enjoyment and can end in tears. Its a car. For driving and having fun. If you don't lose money when you come to sell, or maybe make a bit, that's icing on the cake.

I expect to lose money on any car BUT I’d like to buy something that has more chance of gaining!
Hence why I’m not looking at mclaren! They’re only losing money on the likes of the 12c and with maintainance costs etc it’s just too much! It doesn’t help they have many editions of the same carI expect to lose money on any car BUT I’d like to buy something that has more chance of gaining!

The UK car market numbers are skewed by last years rush to beat the RFL changes and people pausing on diesel (am I going to get taxed off the road) and electric (is it too early)...
The economy is doing fine and the fundamentals whilst still weak, aren’t changing anytime soon.
Nah...The economy is doing fine and the fundamentals whilst still weak, aren’t changing anytime soon.
We have a load of experts that clearly know that the market is about to collapse.
We'll have Rosso/Crema manual 360's at well under 50k by the end of the year!

Fair enough, don‘t live in the U.K. anymore but all the news I am reading do not really fill me with confidence re the U.K. economyThe economy is doing fine and the fundamentals whilst still weak, aren’t changing anytime soon.

If you live in the EU I’m not surprised......doesn’t fit the narrative (and I say that whatever side of the Brexit divide you sit).Having said that I am generally a bit bearish re Supercars values - there are just too many in the 80-200 price bracket imo to the current value levels being sustainable

More pointedly Mr. Sagaris, why does what ghost83 posts bother you so much? What is it about your childhood or upbringing that makes you want to s
t on ghost83? Is there perhaps a bit of fantasist in his post? Probably yes, but your derisive tone would mark you as the troll and not him. You are literally trolling his posts you pillock. Now, kindly pi55 off
