Early Vantages V8V - Time to hold or sell?

[rossyl]

Hi All

I had earlier this year deliberated selling this summer, only to have a complete change of heart and keep the car.

However, looking at early V8V prices starting to dip below £30k I am now wondering if I made a mistake.

My car has just under 40k miles and is in great condition. Probably worth about £32-34k. But I'd be miffed it it dropped to say £28k.

Remembering DB7 prices they fell to £15k before recovering. Are we in for the same now?

Cheers

I'd only be selling to buy something else/similar

Not sure what the other car would be beyond an Audi R8

Don't there there are many other options

And you're confident an R8 *won't* drop ?

Definitely not...but it's holding pretty well

Good comment thanks

I hate when people aren't honest advertising

I'd rather not turn this into a Vantage Vs R8 debate.

Instead....if you own an early Vantage is now the time to sell?

Most companies agree "peak oil" in 2030. That envisages a decline in pure petrol cars. It's important to realise the massive shift that would need to take place. However it could easily happen.

12 years ago could you imagine spending £600+ on a phone? I think the first iPhone was launched 11 years ago. Things can change and fast.

But, I don't see electric cars taking over outside of cities or certainly in less developed countries for a long time to come. That will of course hit values.
