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

My dad did buy a new XJR Jaguar in 1998 for $220k.He traded it on a BMW750LI three months ago for $50k.Ford offerd him $25k :crybaby: Resale hurts more on some expensive euro,s aswell :thumbsup:

Just wanted to know what percentage is lost in the first 6 months or year and then every year after that?

I was told 15% first year then 8% every year after that.

:spit: I WISH!!! :sick:

One of the reasons I've only ever bought one brand new car. All my others have been about a year or so old with minimal kms - just makes financial sense to me and I'm not one of those guys that HAVE to have a brand newie. Bought my T in mid 2005, it was about 8 months old and I paid $33K (which, at the time, was a great price). Even so, I expect I'd be lucky to get even mid-$20Ks for it now. :gooff:

As others have said, depreciation on Falcons suck the big one. :blink:

I bought new because I claim the gst, 36.5k take 3.3k ish = 33k for a brand new ute with 6 speed auto

Great point. 10% GST, 80% claimable(or more depending on its % business use) on a 50K car that's 3.6K already in cash you get back.Then you get your cleaver accountant to do the rest!
