Depending on the car, a new one can drop upto a thrid of it's value the minute it is registered and driven out of the showroom on the road. For most people, a car of 3 years old or less is very desirable, much older than you are broke, and need a poverty car, unless you are either into special brands that last well, or have prestige, are into classics, or are very young and getting insured in a newer car will cost you more than the car. Me I like the older and simpler. They don't have to be performance cars but it helps (my other fave car marque of choice, until about about 6 years ago only produced very low power engines, with the most powerful standard model having about a third of the BHP of the 900, but their older RWS ones where a hoot to drive (No, not VW)). I like to get to work on the engine when minor things go wrong, or to be able to see/hear what is going on to help identify faults I can't fix. Modern cars with big plastic covers, and semi sealed engine areas don't work for me, plus an engine is a work of art, and I lke to see what I can and hear what I can appreciate the designers and engineers craftsmanship in action. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
