Paul, did you buy this car to drive or to worry about how much money you're losing on it?

I appreciate that funds are a bit tight for you at the moment, but however you look at it, there are very few cars indeed which are a "sensible" investment, irrspective of what the residuals are doing.

Hang on to it.

A quick check on Autotrader will tell you that's pish

If you want a return on your money don't buy a car simple.

the usual jap crap that ends up worth feck all of nothing' I can kinda see his point.....Jap motors over the longer term just don't seem to do so well as their German counterparts.
That situation will start to reverse, as the public are made more aware of the true state of build quality and reliability.
