Been looking for a while: lovely car, wife's perfect car, and her possible birthday present.... but we choose them together so she is considering it.

Now, we both prefer the 4.7 over the 4.3 (manual, coupe). But am trying to see if, financially, the 4.7 is worse than the older 4.3's. Buying a good one is about £55k, versus £35-40k for a 4.3 - if depreciation is likely to keep that £15-20k gap then i'm happy to pay a chunk more upfront - but have recently been wondering if the older 4.3 is perhaps a better financial bet in 3-5 years time when we might change.....

Other minor factors are that the newer cars have a better finance rate on them, which helps slightly offset some of the costs.....

anyone been there done that and have info they'd be prepared to share form their t-shirt?
