Strange,but the base price of 35is sale stock has seemed to increase in price as this year has progressed..

With winter coming i dare say there will be a downturn in prices but £23k is the cheapest car i can find currently for sale..

And this is the next one up the ladder at 24k...

I drove mine today. Maybe the depreciation and appreciation matched and it was a free trip. :lol:

wish i'd gone a bit further now. :x :wink: .
 
Pumpkin, walnut , caramel couldn't remember the trade name :oops:
3.5is's are likely to follow the M in terms of bucking the depreciation trend , very few about so i guess the market values will fluctuate with numbers available at any one time
A real "sleeper" car in term's of kit & performance that very few cars can match for the plate year + price
Can defo see one on in garage at some point :driving: or a 3.5i if the right one wafter under my nose
 
I think timing plays a big part in these things, its feasible that there is a lack of cheaper cars available right now. Its certainly the case for the X4s im looking at..

Ah well you'll be lording it over us minions in your F type by then Gaz... :wink:

On topic though this is what I've been saying a few times on other posts for ages, I can see the 35is being a very sought after car, low numbers and all the standard kit, big-ish lump and power, DCT, etc etc, it may not be anything special in some people's eyes and that's more than fair enough and a good argument, but that's immaterial if It's a wanted motor, and I can see it being like the M coupe, low mile minters fetching very strong money come production end. If you keep one under 20k miles for the next 6-7 yrs and low owners, will you see most of your original new purchase money back? I would'nt bet against it....
 
Yea Agreed Tom,

Some crazy money for second hand motors right across the board..

Prices havent seemed to have moved for a couple of years...


@John... I would love an F type.... Im just not 100%,spending that kinda money on any car is alien to me... I think well you only live once,then a minute later i think that in my position i shouldnt be putting £40k+ into a car..

Plenty of great stuff out there at half that amount.
 
Not that bad though - if you sell yours for 11k, the depreciation over the time you have had it is very low (i.e 5k in 4 years).

I lost 4k per year over the 7 years I had my Z.
