For partakers, this is a bit of fun/ general interest only and is intended to be answered only in percentages %

It is *not* intended for people to post how much GPB/other they originally paid nor how much money they parted with the car for.

Some purists might not like the question saying it's not a true reflection but what's gone is gone and so your answer is not to include consumables/ expenditure like fuel, service, maintenance or warranty costs.

Just the quick and dirty percentage of depreciation ie. based on how much you originally paid and how much you sold/ PX'd it for after x number of months and x number of miles.

Again the question is seeking out percentage answers, e.g:

19%


29%


69%

Mine's depreciated about 70%, so it's worth less than a third of it's purchase value, but.....I've had it 5 years, and it was a fairly cheap car when I bought it!

The nominal values aren't so bad. I think my car has probably cost less in depreciation over 5 years than some are paying on a newer car for one year.

Suppose that's testament to the approach of buying a car that someone else has first 'enjoyed'

With the exception of those lucky enough to speculate, buy and sell for the same or more!

Mine has appreciated by 7% in 21 months and I've done 43,000 miles

Bought a 2004 4.4 with 100k in May 2013 and I was offered 7% more than I paid for it last week with 143k

Made 6% and 4% on the previous 2 cars - both Jag XJ V8's bought on the same principle.

Yes my maintenance bills are a bit higher but even offsetting that against minimal depreciation - I'm happy. Current Fleet:-

Ours has just had it's first ever non main dealer MOT and it sailed through with no advisories.

Must be an appreciating asset... well I appreciate it at least

bought new a my10 tdv8 3.6 vogue, owned it for 5 1/2 years and lost 63pct

I would have to ask Gary that, he has a much better understanding of the market and I don't have any since I don't keep track of the market there. My 5.0 has done very little miles since I bought it, maybe 6000 at the most (almost 1 year since I bought it).

The 4.2 however has taken a big wack if I do sell it now but I have had that for 4 years now, plus a lot of money spent on repairs (even with free of charge mechanics working on the car). I would estimate some 40% at least if I get the money for it that has been "promised". MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

When I bought a new RR Sport back in 2010 my wife and I were admiring it in the delivery showroom and as the dealer principal handed me the keys I asked the question "how much will the car be worth the minute I drive out through the showroom door" ?....his reply " mmmh not sure, why not check out We buy any car .com when you get home" ....I didn't have the balls to try!!

Buy a FF prepare to get a kick in the nuts on depreciation ....  ====================================

Are you talking new and used?
Mine was 5 years old when I bought it; now – just over 5 years later – it seems to be worth roughly half what I paid for it, so 50%.
Not bad, methinks. It's "bébéchoon", ackcherly, with accents. 'Steve' to my chums.
20 years ownership of Solihull products, ALL GONE NOW, sniff!
Current motor: Suzuki S-Cross 4WD auto, 1.4 petrol. Oh so reliable! 5 years now and no problems. Oh, all right then, a leaking shocker replaced under guarantee.

Not to mention the Lada Niva before those. (I said not to mention it!)

@ 70% in 7 years, in three more years it won't owe me anything  .

Meant for those who bought used L322. Apologies

However, 'new' L322 buyers are welcome to play too if they want

I love your logic, Joe90!
I wonder if I can argue the same with my bank manager and others? It's "bébéchoon", ackcherly, with accents. 'Steve' to my chums.
