To make money on it... :tumbleweed:

I’d be interested to see it’s service history however.

Better to stick 40k on a deposit for a rental house, 60k buy to let mortgage, rent out @ £500-550 pcm, mortgage approx £220 interest only, make yourself £250 pcm after tax. Use that £250 to pay the mortgage on a 2nd house then fetch £500 pcm for yourself. :thumbsup:

Could do it that way but then you have stamp duty to pay.

Or with stocks/shares you have capital gains tax.

You could probably get a decent return on it in 5 years as opposed to 10 assuming you put no more than 3,000 miles on it.

Not saying I would do it but can understand why someone would buy a car such as this at that mileage.

16 months would have the stamp and on costs paid, then it’s free sailing. Put the £250 to pay another mortgage then pull in £500 pcm for yourself for as long as you want the houses. Make a hell of a lot more than an M sitting there doing nothing. But let’s not get carried away, I see the appeal of it but you couldn’t use it, it’s a trophy car to look at or use for the odd show.
