£55k for a GTS.

Anyone got thoughts on how this might depreciate??

Do you currently drive a BMW perchance?

On a more serious note, 20% driving it off the forecourt to account for tax. Past that, who cares? I have bought one of these for the total mentality of the car.

[mik_ok]

Hard to tell, but second hand prices for the previous E3's (only around 11 were sold - maybe one more now r-kid has bought the wagon) have remained very strong.

If they only sell a few gen-F, then you might expect a similar situation (?)

[ARAF]

65% at 2 years, and 55% at 3?

Maybe a little better, but certainly a lot better than other cars in the class, due to the rarity and simplicity rather than the longevity of parts.

[ringram]

Yeah who cares.
Why buy a car to sell on?

Surely you buy one for life

Coming up 7 years in mine.

Just look on Auto trader today at the used prices that will give you a pretty good feel for it.

There is no used Gen-F GTS on autotrader!

So you wont get any feel for it.

Id suggest you will have to wait 12 months at least before you know.

[ATCO2]

Never owned a beemer!!!

Had a Monaro til a couple of weeks ago, had that for 7 years. Just wondering if a £54k for a car was realistic. I think I might wait until somebody else has seen off the first couple of years

But you would however get a general feel for how the other models and variants have depreciated compared to when they were new.

Nice choice of next car

Who buys a car as an investment? Just drive it.

Its a lot of car for £55K anyway.

[stigmundfreud]

thing is that's well and true and obviously we're all fairly normal folk so depreciation can be a factor. Saying that I just spunked cash on the z with the plan it wont lose much if anything over 2 years and what it does will be small enough to not matter

True, but numbers are way different. Also Vx dropped their trousers in 08 on the vxr8 down to £23k

This time they are not bringing a large number in to sell, they are only bought to order.

So Id suggest depreciation will be a lot less. Basically they have ZL1 running gear, which other model has that?

[jonnM]

I wonder when the first used one will appear on the market?

When Vx change their demo cars probably?

The ZL1 at less money!

[ringram]

Correct. Try and buy a ZL1 at GTS prices!

Bargain of the century if you know what you are looking at..

Acquaintance of mine has one in the States at less money (at the time).

GTS is still good enough, when compared against the sauerkrauts. I think the new two ton Dodge could rival it though?
