Didn't this one go for £40k just after xmas with only 50 miles on the clock?!

I commented on the thread in question, and it was for sale at £43k.

Anyway, isn't depreciation the difference between purchase and sale price?
As he hasn't sold it, it's difficult to work out the depreciation.

It's like the 21k Rosso Pearl Griff in the classfieds which has been advertised for >8 months now, slowly reducing in price (think it's 17k odd now).

Exactly! What a pointless thread. Not for the first time this week there seems to be confusion between the asking price and eventual selling price. The two are not the same! It's called the bid offer spread!

can't be the same car ..... that one is a 2006

Isn't this the Ecurie Car?

Its the same colour with the same PO55 number plate.

And supposed to be a one-off colour for a Sagaris.

Hmm...

It is the same car - the original add stated it was made in 2005 but would be registered in 2006. It was used for Nivea promotion work - hence the low mileage at original sale.

Thats the ecurie car. I believe the chap that runs it is called Erik isn't he?
