Nah i know its years away, i'm just hoping for some certainty in the future, whichever way it goes.
I think i've settled on the diesel Everest and i'll deal with the consequences later.
My worry is that cars depreciate in value enough as it is, i don't want something to depreciate to the point its just worth scrap, simply because new tech has made it obsolete almost overnight. As i said, i'm thinking 6+years into the future which is how long i expect to have this new car
thats fair.
I dont worry too much about the future value. I've only owned a few cars. I'm 41 and been driving my diesel mondeo since 2008 when I got it new. Previous cars were second handers.
The mondeo isn't unreliable but it's time for it to go shortly. It's worth what it's worth and I'm going to trade it in because private selling is annoying and time consuming and usually it's not worth the hassle.
The next car, depreciation is what it is. It might not go the distance anyway.
