In honesty, reason for selling has always been money and me panicking, seeing £40k plus sat on drive getting little use and depreciating always frightened me. Silly really, so now wedding is done, I know where wallet is up to, so systems go.
Fair enough Shane so residuals are very important, obviously , in which case bit of forward thinking is required.
Lots of people getting out of E92 M3 at the moment so they are droping in value BIG time, as well as the NEW M4 being just around the corner, promising to be a great M-car with E46 M3 curb weight, straight 6 Twin or Tri Turbo with 450 BHP + and M4 CSL in the pipelines as well, all of which is going to kill the residuals of the E92 M3, so that's straight out of the equation.

The R35 GTR values are also heading South, just not as fast as the E92 M3. Where do you recon the GTR is going to be @ price wise in lets say 12 months time ?

I recon if you can get into a 997 Turbo @ around £40 ish K that's the one that's going to hold it's value best. Just my thoughts.
