What period competitors are there?.... an m3 maybe? But thats a saloon car with an incrementally better version of it's engine. A big merc coupe that looks like every other merc and has an incrementally better engine? hmmm.
Theres nothing.
So 996+ a rainy day fund (stick that £10k in a global equity tracker, you might not need it), or be prepared to rebuild yourself.
My car cost me what rollers go for now, so if it went pop I would either flog as is or rebuild myself if I have the time.
I could have bought a new VW Golf 1.2TSI and lost more than £10k in depreciation in the time I've had it.
Its been a cheap car, and still will be if it goes pop.
