They were a $50,000 car. Now THAT is depreciation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondie Firm Member Donating Members 2,924 Member For: 22y 3m 3d Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 29/05/03 11:07 PM Share Posted 29/05/03 11:07 PM Those numbers are excellent, especially the private secondhand values which l doubt you couldn't match with any other car in the red book at present :D Take a 2002 XR6T for example, what other car could you buy and drive for 6 months and potentially sell for $3k less than you paid? 7% depreciation is great.The trade in prices are what you would expect as a dealer has to have a margin to make it worth their while. l still think they are good.As Dazz points out, if you want to experience true depreciation buy an AU!

cvanxr Member 502 Member For: 22y 2m 24d Location: Country NSW Posted 29/05/03 11:32 PM Share Posted 29/05/03 11:32 PM Working for a company that has a high vehicle turnover these figures are very important to me. I was wondering when they would start to become available. Great to finally see it and as already mentioned they are not to bad. Another 6 months or so and I will maybe have a couple of run in turbo's to sell at a decent price. Also don't forget the dealer will wack $5000 to $10000 on the trade in price on average to make their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 29/05/03 11:55 PM Share Posted 29/05/03 11:55 PM Just gotta add though, I've been looking through the trading post, and have seen a 2002 'T' with 35,000km on the clock selling for $47,000. If people can't wait for 4 months for a new one, they'll be willing to pay anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
