Right don't know if any of you have checked this site of late,but i've entered the new 2.0cdti and the 2.0t 4x4. Given the financial climate,i like many other veccy owners have guessed that we will....., after all see something similar in depreciation to the Veccy,....but this much?
Just look at the projected value of the 2.0t in just 12 months!!!

Anybody have any knowledge of how they get these figs?

Nothing that we already new ... only worse

On seeing those figures I doubt I shall buy another brand new car again.

When this ones 3yr old I shall get what I can for it and get myself a new motability car, around £165 a month, no service bills, nothing, probably work out cheaper in long run. Always liked my own new car every couple of years but I'm just realising how much its been costing me, so I think its time to wise up!

Yep will be good for buying another in a few years time.
My car was 19.5k new and i got 10 months old for just under 10k Now 3 years on its worth 2 balloons and a goldfish so may keep it till it packs in lol

any car from the main stream manufactures wil lose value very quickly over the first year/couple of years,french cars are worse with ford and vauxhall being a bit better

we currently have the 1.8vvt sri on motability only expense after the initial advance payment is for fuel
when we went to look for the car we were expecting to only have a choice of the basic colours but they insist on the metallics because of the resale factor
you get full servicing,tyres,ins,rac all in all a deal not to be missed
