Living in hope a certain Velocity blue car remains off the market until i have finished my house.

FYI your postcode is embedded in the URL (and doesn't need to be, see above).

Yup - don't buy a car with the wrong colour seats, it will only cost you later.

Thanks for the heads-up! The "share" link on Autotrader used to anonymize the link, but doesn't anymore! . Post amended

I reckon my licence would last about a fortnight with that 🤣

In a couple of years time this will be a 25k car.

If that's true, then it will be a bargain.

Not that it isn't now, for those hooligans that like this sort of thing. Myself, I'll settle for 500 horses and TVs in the back.

I am or was that hooligan all across Europe

It will not be a bargain it will just be another rapidly depreciating luxo-barge.......like yours

Depreciated, rather than depreciating, surely?

Mine has depreciated by 60% in 7 years - what is the average?

Isn't "hugely depreciated" another way of saying "bargain"?

I considered getting my £100k luxo-barge for (a depreciated) <£40k a bargain.

(... and I would be perfectly happy if it is worth £25k in two years time, although to be fair if someone bought it from me for that, they would definitely be getting a bargain)

It's all relative I guess and statistics can be misleading. I have an above average number of legs for instance.
Also, did Jaguar actually sell any XJ's for 100k?

 

[mac_doctor]

... did Jaguar actually sell any XJ's for 100k?

No idea. It was the book price (of mine, at least - the 575 was only a piffling £94k) so I'm guessing that they sold at most five.

Interestingly, though, from a statistics point of view, the lower the actual sale price, then the lower the depreciation has been. (Buying a £100k car for 40k is 60% depreciation, but if it were sold for say £80k originally then the depreciation is "only" 50%)

It's all relative I guess ...

Sure is. Some people buy a Skoda for £40k and consider it a bargain.

... statistics can be misleading.

Which (of the quoted) statistics are misleading?

 

[Major Clanger]

The depreciation figure, as you point out, would be misleading if the actual cost new was lower than the list price which it would have been.
The fact that Jaguar could only sell 5 tells its own sad story.

Yup. As I also point out, it makes the depreciation less.

To be fair, they only appeared to make five (in 2018). Not many manufacturers have 100% sell through!

Yes, I pointed out that you had pointed it out

 

[TheVoices2]

As dealers, we had about £16,000+ VAT dealer support on XJ's for the last 2 years of production.

I can't remember anyone ever paying 'list' for one, so they had a head start on the depreciation from day one.
