Well call me a fool if you like I bought my 96P 20vt from auction for £20k in Feb 97 saving myself about £4.5k and side-stepping the 6 month waiting list (yes, can you believe it, a waiting list for a Fiat ) I wasn't ready to buy really, I was going to wait a few years, but I'd seen a Porto Blue one at a dealer and liked the colour and when this ex-Fiat UK press car came up at the auction launch of the Alfa GTV and Spider, I just had to have it... So assuming it's worth say £4k now (no idea really, don't care either ) that's a little over £1.5k per year depreciation (ignoring interest on the original £20k) and I think that's really excellent value for money, so there

I paid a tad under 19 grand for mine in 1995 - metallic paint and sunroof options - and so far it's depreciated all the way down to £178 (which is what I paid for it from the insurers). Which is under two grand a year. There was a waiting list even then; ordered it in May and didn't get it until October A ten grand ford would have depreciated to zero in, what, five years?

Ah OK, as long as he's not from Yokshire, or Scottish, I'm sure he'd take the £2.60 No actually I think I still misunderstand

I like the way Stan has expertly managed to steer this totally off topic John
