TVR depretiation isnt too bad, but the first year or so really does hit hard. As always buying someone elses low mileage two year old car helps ALOT!

Cant blame you for wanting a Rarri - its the next step up from a TVR IMHO, I'll get there eventually!!! After seeing two at Bruntingthorpe Vmax - im rather keen on a 360 myself... Although perhaps not in red. Ah well, I can dream!!

Gixxer,

it was exactly 12 months old, 18,000 miles (I drive them). Red Rose, 18 inchers etc, Air-con (Pretty much Tuscan S spec).

25K was the best I could get - and I took that and RAN - leaving 3 blown up engines behind.

Attitudes to mileages look to be changing, especially with the modern cars. Having said that, I wouldn't expect more than say 4K miles per annum on average.

4K miles I do around 6K in my 355 and would like the time to do more. The cars are meant to be driven. Did 2.5K in a 2 week European tour this summer. Twas the best fun to be had with your clothes on

Bloody hell mate. I'm pretty astonished at that. And to think, I grumbled at losing £19k from new in 4 years on my last Chimaera!
