Will be worth 7k in 3 years time

Or buy a ttrs for 50k then lose 20k over 3 years.....  http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/audi/tt/rs-2009/buying-selling/

You'd walk out of a Ford dealer with a basic one of those for sub-15k with ease. Which is why the depreciation always looks bad compared to list. In reality, they perform quite well considering.

ST2 with Recaros and 'Nav still lists at less than £19k with the Mountune pack. If you can't get at least 15% off that, you're a clown.

Obviously they're conservatively tuned to retain the warranty. Won't be long before others are extracting more.

The more you spend the more you lose, generally. 

These would probably run rings around a standard Mk5/Mk6 GTI

Yeah all new cars lose massively, the more expensive the car, the more they lose. However in percentage terms of depreciation the TTRS loses less of its value than this supermini will. Like the fiesta st though, most people paid 42-44k for a half decent spec TTRS new. 50k+ on a TT and you need your head testing

But yeah, I've never advocated buying new, the TTRS was an exception as a 5 cylinder was a boyhood dream. 911 GT3 next, they hold their value very well, and I think some gen GT3's will go up in value long term.

So what?  :confused:

Buy one, enjoy it and lose £10.5k in depreciation...buy a mk7 gti, enjoy it and lose £15k over the same period...yes the Golf will be 'worth' more than the fiesta but you've still lost an extra 5 grand...

Anyhow, fantastic little car and if I could justify another car I'd be down to Ford like a shot to buy one for Mrs Beddie  :happy2:

You missed the point, 2nd hand bargain, just like the m3, c63, rs5 etc

Defensive people  :signLOL:

I got your point, Poverty, largely as 7-8k is what I've spent on my last 2 Mk5 GTi's!! I always reckon that this kind of budget allows a great balance between getting a fantastic driver's car whilst beating depreciation in true Bangernomics fashion!

£7k for one of these in 3 years will be a fantastic purchase, and it'll still be nearly new!!

Yep I agree fully, at 3 years old it will still look fresh, shouldn't be too hard to find a low-ish mileage one and enjoy a real little cracker. Then another 2-3 years down the line sell it on for 5k. Cheap motoring and a smart way to get into drivers cars for minimum outlay and gives you the option to continuously try new cars. I have a friend who does this, has a different "legend" every 4-5 months.

If I was in the market for this type of car currently, I'd find a low mileage previous gen Clio RS, then try this perhaps 3 years from now.

Lol buy it now why wait and good for the cash and nothing beats a new car I had a Clio sport from new and had 3 boxes under warranty, so wouldn't like to have bought it 3 years old someone else did on a forum that I was on after I traded it in and was bombarded with knew faults and another box, sold it after less than a years ownership. Ps was my 4th Renault and will never go back but would have had the fiesta mountune new if I never had the ed30 which is a keeper :drinking:

It's a great way to do it. I know someone who operates in a similar way but on 5K!! He sells them privately so gets more or less what he paid for them 4-6 months later. He went from a 330ci clubsport to a clio 197 to a Focus ST in 14 months and lost 200 quid overall!

That's mental, I love the idea of that.  Get to try out a lot of metal for minimal outlay.
