£15,000 residual on a 5 door dsg in 3 years time 10k per year........ who's going to pay £17,000 retail price for a 3 year old one when you can get a new one out the box for only £8-£9000 more?

Someone that doesn't have and extra £8-9000 more to spend and that has an aversion to borrowing money.
can't argue with that dubber :wink:

Everybody has their budget - but depreciation plays a part for all of us! £8-9K extra is just too much for some people to stomach ....

So whilst mine is going to be a "heavily laden" car, because I managed to get 12.5% off list; hopefully it won't have quite such an impact at 24 months when I get something else!

Still going to pay cash as otherwise it appears that you're paying thousands extra (over 24 months) on top of your maintenance and depreciation! Last time I just handed over my Debit Card! :laugh:
