Why not value your car at 30k because your not going to get 15K for it !

I would forget value and just get what you can when the time comes .

If you don`t want to loose money on a car go for a classic ,there going up and up ..

Exactly, its worth what anybody is willing to pay for it when you need to sell it. Enjoy it and worry about that when the time comes, if you get most of your money back be happy.

You're right on that front - I have a couple of classics - a Healey 3000 and a Sunbeam Rapier (rally spec). The Sunbeam has been at the same value for the last 10 years but the Healey is worth fives times what I bought it for. Can't sell it. Family heirloom and part of our motoring history.
