I don’t believe anyone would buy a car that would lose 80% of its value within a few years. That’s just a silly extreme example.

This.
What cars even lose that kind of money in normal times, let alone the times were now in where new cars are actually better buys than used cars potentially on a depreciation front.
Also I know Nath, he won't care what the car is worth in a year or two, he is buying the car HE wants for his own personal pleasure and rarity status, Aston have not sold huge numbers of these so they are pretty damn rare, maybe even as rare as an Urus on the road, when I see a DBX or Urus they stand out, its not a car I would personally buy as an SUV is not my taste, if I needed more seats I'd be putting my money probably on something like an Quadrifoglio and if I had money to really splash then probably the GTAm version or if I could put up with LHD then a Project 8.

How oddly specific. Are you sure it won't lose £46k or perhaps £48k?
Maybe 80% is silly but plenty of high end cars lose more than 50% of their value in 3 years
The Aston Martin Rapide lost 60% in 3 years (the DBX predecessor) and that cost £150k new. Though nothing comes as bad as an S class which loses 66%.
According to CAP based on 36,000 miles.
Compare then to cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 which will lose 13% and the Aventador or Ferrari 488 which will lose 16%.
People still bought the cars which lost 60% of their value as clearly that is what they wanted (and money doesnt bother them)
GT3’s make money, those are just guides and are not fact. Think 488’s have lost a lot more also.
That was before this years silliness in second hand prices so obviously some cars now make money but the point still stands. There are cars which barely lose money (or even increase) and others which lose 60%.
!remindme in 3 years to ask what you sold it for
If the rapide is anything to go by! I definitely wouldn't put this in the same class as the Urus.
I'm not knocking I'm saying the cost of ownership is not just the headline 156k. Depreciation clearly came into it hence your response.
Pretty sure there will be a salvage one somewhere for £30kIf you can get a DBX for 80% off 150k in 3 years I'm having one
If you can get a DBX for 80% off 150k in 3 years I'm having one
Lol maybe 60% off if previous AM are to go by. They really do depreciate badly. Even DBS has awful depreciation. You really need to love the AM and not care about how much you lose owning one.

I like quite like the DBX and the Daytona, but the latter is definitely a cliche wealthy persons watch

The watch was a gift from my father for my 21st birthday. Nearly 10 years ago when I was earning £18k a year.
Something that is very sentimental to me.
Very jealous. Looks niceGot my new BMW M340i XDrive. Changed an Audi A6 40 TDI for this which had been quite problematic during the nearly 3 years I owned it.
Glad I made the change, massive difference and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

I would post the images properly but I’m clearly incompetent.
Very nice, one of the fewer new BMW's that doesn't look arse.
Really like the alloys. Almost went for one but was a tad more than we wanted to pay on the monthlies.If you link the actual image it should work, rather than the short url thing
