Residuals/Discounts

[mgp1969]

Am just about to move from London to the Peak District (30 minute commute to Sheffield) so am thinking of a VX220 or a Lotus Elise. One factor is likely to be resale value - how does the VX220 hold its value - does it compare well with the Elise in this respect or is it hampered by the badge? Also, have heard/read of discounts being available on new VXT's - does anyone have recent experience of what sort of discounts might be available.

Thanks in anticipation.
