The Great Depreciation Challenge! Beat this.

Assuming it cost around 60k quid in 2002 with the options it had, my 1400 quid S8 would have cost about 100 grand new today. Thats a depreciation of 98.6%, try to beat that.?

My Saab 900 would’ve cost £24495 new in 1996. I paid £300 for it. So it lost 98.8% of its value from new... 

If you adjust for today’s money out would’ve been around £42,500 so would’ve lost 99.4% of its  value!!

Missed the crucial piece of information there, didn't I?!!! ? 

Here’s the converted version:

Purchased by me for $3,500 (£1,925)

Sold new for $80,000 (£44,000)

Adjusted for inflation to $234,800 (£129,180)

That’s a depreciation figure of 98.5%

We were on about that car yesterday when we were out in the mx-5. My partner had a 306 new years ago and she was looking forward to getting this. She was very dissapointed and said it drove nothing like her old one.

I thought it was okay. Nothing to write home about, but okay.

Trying to relive her youth I suspect. A bit like playing C64 games now. Amazing at the time but now completely shit.

I've still the clutch to do, have another go at sorting the exhaust joints, fix a bust front driver's side spring, etc.

Never mind all the money I've given the taxman.

I think it'll be an ok steer when I get the alloys sorted and with matching boots all round.

I just googled it. That's how they are. I thought it was a camera or image error. Very strange.
