Never knew S2000s were depreciation free, feck I should buy one if that's the case........................ heads to kitchen to eat bowl of rice krispies in record time and then plans to dash off to buy one of these assets before they're all snapped up by shrewd investersJonny 5 wrote:

Are both suddenly worth nothing?
No didnt think so, ones an asset you can sell the other frankly is a liability that you will struggle to get decent money for.

You're clearly losing your touch, wafting about in the Lexus may be having an effect on you, perhaps you should paint the wheels black or somethingmunky wrote:

Assets are things you have, it doesn't mean they are depreciation proof, just it means they have a place in a market with a well defined market value.618ireland wrote:Never knew S2000s were depreciation free, feck I should buy one if that's the case........................ heads to kitchen to eat bowl of rice krispies in record time and then plans to dash off to buy one of these assets before they're all snapped up by shrewd investersJonny 5 wrote:

I sold mine for £600 more than i bought it for..does that count
You are a shrewd bastad though 
So we ignore purchase price of these assets so do we, ok.Jonny 5 wrote:
For example if you wanted a BMW E46 M3 as your next car, its easier to get by cashing in your asset if its a Honda S2000 rather than a Rover Turbo. Typically you would need to throw double the cash at the upgrade if stepping from a Rover Turbo.
Thats why the value part of a car is pretty m00t when it comes to such comparisons.

I see what you meanJonny 5 wrote:£10k S2000, £2k Rover turbo and you wanna buy a good M3 for £18k?
One of those you need £8k the other £16k.
tbh, there is as much variation in the microwave market as there is in the motor trade.Null_Byte wrote:
I think what this thread has highlighted, apart from why you shouldn't listen to a fanboy, or base an opinion of a car on traffic light race, is that owning and selecting a car is a very personal choice. If they were all the same (and unfortunately they are getting that way) then it would be a very boring experience, rather like buying a new microwave.

Do you want it to be a combi? with steamer, crisper, grill?
eco friendly or high power?
dial or digital
touch sensitive buttons or microswitches
do you trust the 'program times'?
what if I buy one with an 850w power rating? the times on the back of the packets ony go up to 750...
and of course... stainless, mirrored or white?

how much did you pay for the S2000 and how much did you pay for the R200?618ireland wrote:I see what you meanJonny 5 wrote:£10k S2000, £2k Rover turbo and you wanna buy a good M3 for £18k?

How much spare change was left in the bank after the purchase of the R200 due to price difference and how long have we had the cars ... cos Mark probably sold his after owning for a pretty short time to make money on it.
One thing is certain..the R200 will not depreciate anything like an S2000...unless I own it and then the dents scratches and general beatings may.
it sounds like it has a lot of character:Dhere's how it looked in 2007alexcornwall wrote:shen wrote:how much did you pay for the S2000 and how much did you pay for the R200?618ireland wrote:I see what you meanJonny 5 wrote:£10k S2000, £2k Rover turbo and you wanna buy a good M3 for £18k?

Shen i really must see some pictures of your battered car
that has amused me somewhat - like you say though - if it's going to continually get scraped and battered not a lot of point doing much about it you keep it nice and clean! those wheels are looking in good nick too.Thing is no stock Rover 200 would annoy an S2000 so your point is m00t.shen wrote:how much did you pay for the S2000 and how much did you pay for the R200?.618ireland wrote:I see what you meanJonny 5 wrote:£10k S2000, £2k Rover turbo and you wanna buy a good M3 for £18k?

Thanks for that matey, you know it's an awesome coupe despite it's rough looks...though the starter motor doesnt seem to be fixing itself quickly enough and I may need to borrow the spare you haveDickie adams wrote:the turbo shed is awesome!!!! and bullet proof, its the only car i know that fixes its self
Would love for it to still look mint but as said it's had so so many knocks and scrapes and so few of them from me there's no point in fixing it back up to that level...I like the car alot cos it's been such a good runner and so solid for me but sadly I could buy another for the price of fixing it up.matt077 wrote:your car looked mint in 2007 mate! wouldnt you like it looking like that again?
no probs bud, if it still plays up hit it with a hammer, it sorted mine out for a while lolshen wrote:Thanks for that matey, you know it's an awesome coupe despite it's rough looks...though the starter motor doesnt seem to be fixing itself quickly enough and I may need to borrow the spare you haveDickie adams wrote:the turbo shed is awesome!!!! and bullet proof, its the only car i know that fixes its self
Unless it behaves and doesn't give me another chirp till the weekend
