Question Author
He thinks he knows more about cars than anyone else, Daffy. The car is nearly 5 years old and has 85k on the clock. He is therefore concerned about depreciation. Frankly, I've had it since new so the majority of the depreciation has already happened. But the new model is now out (or shortly to be out, I can't remember, he knows) so the market for my model will diminish.
Frankly, I couldn't give a sod whether it is the new model or the old model but this is apparently an issue.
I just don't "get" the idea of trading mine in for an 03 plate with similar mileage. I think its a Sugar idea. The car is mine, its paid for, why can't I just continue driving it til it dies and who give a bugger about depreciation. Surely depreciation is only an issue if you trade in?
