Hi All,
I'm a new member here, so hi!!
I know I'm asking 'the converted' here, but I'm the proud owner of a 4 year old low mileage BMW 420d, which has only done 6700 miles in the last 12 months, so I'm (very) seriously thinking about swapping it (and all it's practicality - 4 seats, pretty reasonable boot space, 55 mpg, all mod cons) for a 13 year old, 55k miles 911 996 Carrera C2 (2 seats, no boot space, 20-ish MPG).
Financially, it's looking like a fairly straight swap, but still it feels crazy.
My thinking is that the Beemer will de-value like a stone over the next 2-3 years, but a 911, which I've always wanted, may devalue some, but not as much. There's a chance it might even go up in value (in my dreams).
Am I actually losing it, or is there some actual logic behind my thinking?
Cheers
Scully
