Good point
I for one do not plan to sell my car for a long time ,unless obviously if I had to and let's hope none of us EVER have to be in a position like that ! I am not really fussed how much cars are going for ,for I believe a car's worth is dependant on its condition and more importantly how much the punter is will to pay ! You can for example ,pick up a R33 for £13/14 k but what condition is it in and how was it looked after ? The chances are the one for £16/17 k are in better nick ! However there are always exceptions !
We also have to except the fact that our cars depriciate fast,especially when bought from new,like your case !
Sorry we did not chat more on Sunday ,but it seemed when I was of the track you was on and vice-versa !
