super saloons with least depreciation

[chris-p]

Hello all,

am considering changing cars soon. Have a 640d grand coupe as an everyday and a cls 55amg as a toy. but considering just having the one.

so with a

> budget of £20-30k
> no older than 2013
> 400+bhp
> capable of reliably doing 10k miles a year
> ideally 4 door as have child.

what ideas do you guys have, i would rather pay out more on running costs for something with similar perf as the AMG rather than paying out on high depreciation.

Based on keeping 1 to 2 years.

1) XFR - £18-£20k? reasonably reliable? low depreciation?
2) E63 (twin turbo) £28k+ have read of a few catastrophic failures on owners club - prob depreciate quite a bit
3) Audi s7 jist scrape in £30k - depreciation?
4) XKR - £20k ish - stunning looks compensate for 2 doors lol
5) C43 - seen some @ 30k - high depreciation and under power wise
6) CLA45 - later ones 380hp, but prob drop like a stone.

At the moment- my fav is the XFR... comments?

You forgot the Holden gts saloon.

Might not have the badge or sophistication of the others you've listed but the requirements seem to match a Vauxhall VXR8?

If you can find one!

or just go through one of the identikit boring threads about the same people who ask the same strangers cars they like.

FWIW - I'd probably get a boring e class taxi and a Lancia Monte Carlo for your budget.

All super saloons depreciate at a rate but overall (inc maintenance depreciation etc) the IS-F is a good shout:

Or as someone suggested the VXR GTS is a very good shout:

How about a S6? Can pick these up for less than a S7. I may have one for sale

You’ll wait a long time for one at 20-30k.
But yes, a great choice.
