If you did, you can return the car to stock to sell and sell all the mod parts individually or keep them for your next car (what's compatible). This way you reduce your losses on the parts.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 14/01/12 11:02 PM Share Posted 14/01/12 11:02 PM Saw a Police one and with a few plain XT's on the back of a truck heading south to Bris on Friday.Had me thinking they might be off to the auctions.If you were going to mod anyway (hard not too) they are a cheap buy in. Long as the guts have not been dragged out of them over medium strips.Not sure if they show up @ Fowlersor where evers list as police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You talk about fuel expense being high, but maybe you fail to realise how high your depreciation expense is. And it seems you want to do it all again with a Mercedes to save on fuel when you will take an even bigger hit with depreciation. I wouldn't comment if you said you were gonna buy a Kia.Not having a go at you, but found a bit of your reasoning in this thread a bit hard to get my head around. Maybe its just me.For the guy who bought it, you got a good deal. You cant go past a well looked after car where someone else has taken the depreciation hit in the first 3 years.

You cant go past a well looked after car where someone else has taken the depreciation hit in the first 3 years.Accountants sometimes deal with raw figures/percentages, not necessarily $$ reality. TSo a bigger hit in % compared to new? Absolutely not as Mercs are very good compared to ford/FPV.......but in real terms yes I absolutely agree with you TurboT as OP already had a car that already finished a huge chunk of its depreciation.A bad decision financially all things considered (buying new (if that's the case) always will be), but if OP wants the Merc instead of the FPV for quality/image/warranty etc then the $$ loss over the FPV are largely irrelevant.

Spool Member 28 Member For: 21y 2m 11d Posted 15/01/12 09:30 AM Share Posted 15/01/12 09:30 AM I dont get this thread. Selling a car you love for the sake of some tax dollars because your accountant told you? Silly reason to sell a car imo. Just buy something you love, drive it and enjoy it and stop being so obsessed with a buck, Geez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJF077 The Noble Leader Administrator 4,785 Member For: 22y 1m 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Australia Posted 15/01/12 10:35 AM Author Share Posted 15/01/12 10:35 AM Unfortunately for me with my investments and the income I earn I need to claim maximum depreciation / interest on everything for it to be viable. As much as I loved the F6 i was losing the maximum depreciation of the vehicle. That was why the decision was the way it was. Don't worry I am sure I will be back in a few years when whatever after the series II comes out. I do love the XR6Turbo, Typhoon and F6 Vehicles otherwise I would not have started this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
