Mildman Member 149 Member For: 19y 1d Posted 01/11/06 11:34 AM Share Posted 01/11/06 11:34 AM What's RRP on a BF Turbs optioned....about $50KGot trade of around $30K 12 months later.I'd say you'll lose $20K in year one, with $15K of that in the first 6 months.Probs $5K the year after that.If you get employee pricing your residual value will probably be ahead of the trade in.....just.

The extra price you pay for something new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fords are very bad in the depreciation stakes.Rate of depreciation slows after 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac450 Member 1,650 Member For: 18y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 01/11/06 09:46 PM Share Posted 01/11/06 09:46 PM The Red Book average is that a T retains 47% after 3 years and a Phoon 56%. Both ute versions are a little better still.As far as just lumping this on Fords, the Phoons rate better than the HSVs and the Ts about line ball with SS.Go outside of the Falcadores and resale is much better, unless your silly enough to buy a Jaguar. The old man nearly purchased one for 190k a few years ago, until he saw the same model 2nd hand in the yard for 95k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Despite what you buy, you need to keep the car for a minimum of 2 years, ideally 3-4, in order to let the actual value catch up with the depreciation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother was the same when he bought his BF GT. He loved they way they looked, loved the way they sounded, and could afford the deal.Now excuse me while I go cook up some more lentils...
