Excellent write up.... Nothing like a few well assembled facts !
My purchase was based on a similar proposition i.e. I believe I can beat the market rate for owning a car by buying the right car, at the right price and one that makes me happy.
And by 'beat the market rate' I mean lose less than the cost of leasing a quality car ( BMW / Merc ) circa £550 a month over 2 years, while at the same time have this amazing vehicle as my daily driver.
After nearly 5 months of ownership my little plan has more or less been actioned without any hiccups, having just passed the major milestone of purchasing a 2 year warranty with my local OPC, and after all the bits and pieces added up the bill came to almost exactly what I negotiated off the car when I bought it
And yes the value is important to me ( it's the fastest part of my retirement package :grin: ) but the sheer joy I get from driving and looking at that Guards Red Beast on a daily basis is pretty unmeasurable :thumbs:
