Figo said:one thing I would say about the Aygo C1 107.... depreciation.
Its non existant. I think ours lost about £2500 in 5 years.. its a great car to run into the ground and pretty bullet proof
Whilst we were looking around for a small car one of the sales guys we came across gave me something to think about.
I mentioned that I owned an RCZ, and bought it from new at a cost of around £24000, so he showed me some figures, not ones he picked out from his head, but what most dealers use to value cars.
So anyway here's the figures, the Z is now worth around £15500 (top end figures) after 3 years, a loss of £8500 = depreciation of 35%, yet if I was to spend £6000 on a small car like a C1 or even a Chevrolet Spark right now, and even if that car was to suffer a depreciation value of full 100% after 3 years, which is impossible for any car after only 3 years, it would of still lost me less than what the RCZ has lost me over the same period of time.
Even more, if we use the same depreciation value as what the Z has lost ( 35% ) I will of only lost around £2100 on my £6000, after 3 years.
Now maths were never my strongest point, but figures like this did give me something to think about :eusa-think:
