'This is a bargain, mad depreciation'

Seriously? Lets take a look at this.

When new, a Veyron 16.4 was £839k. This used example is 5 years old and yet is still £700,000. It has therefore retained a staggering 83% of its original value from new over the last 5 years.

This is epic depreciation - but the epic thing about it is how little its depreciated, not how much. Infact in terms of retained value the Veyron is potentially one of the slowest depreciating cars you can buy.

Maybe it's my wording... as a % no, it's not but as far as I remember the Veyrons were over £920k+... and if that's the case, it's lost £225k which in monetary terms is a shed load... so maybe it's the way I've worded it. A car that depreciated and loses £225k is more than most cars in the world cost to buy.
 
The place thats selling that first Veyron had 3 of them at one point and that place also owns the number plate with is why its been on so many Veyron's. If i could afford this i would live in it it would do at least 20,000 miles a year. I'd do a road trip across Europe. Might even take it up the local hill climb.

So if I bought an oil company for $5bn and it lost £225k then that's loads? You can't look at these things in absolute money terms.
 
Does anyone else think it looks sort of like a model toy car in those photos? I don't think it actually is because the dealer seems to have other supercars, just looks a lot like one in the pictures!

Never understood why people who buy such expensive cars don't drive the bloody things.

Sometimes they just aren't practical. My mate had a Vanquish S for 2 year, put about 8k miles on the clock while he had it. He just took it out on a weekend or when the weather was nice (was a good laugh turning up to some golf days in that!), but it also looked nice on his driveway with his Range Rover Vogue, Audi A4 cabrio (wife's car) and Land Rover Freelander (for work).

When you add up his total mileage over a year it was over 30k (not including the wife's A4), he just did the miles in the most appropriate vehicle for the task at hand, it's hardly much use going to fit out a kitchen in a property in an Aston Martin! :D
