RedM Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Maybe we should buy Jazz a house next door to Jake Right! If I win the Euro Millions I'm buying Jazz a house next door to Jake. I might buy Nizam one close by too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Anyone who buys a car like this for financial reasons is a goon. Disagree. A chap on PH mentioned his GT2 cost less to run over three years than his wifes 987 Boxster S over the same period, this included buying and selling. To disregard depreciation is foolish at best imo, especially when it was thought that the car had already done the biggest chunk of it in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm talking about Supra's, and grey import ones especially. I'd only worry about deprecation on a car I didn't care about, ie something I used for work for example. If it was something I had to get for some other reason than my own and was gonna cost me cash then I'd look at finding something that hopefully would hold its value better than others.

Jake Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Cars depreciate, that's life. If you want a nice car you have to accept that you are going to lose a fair amount of money on it. The nicer and newer and more expensive your car is, the more you will lose money as it gets older and less desirable. If the depreciation of your car's value is a major problem then you're probably driving something you can't really afford. It pains me to say it, but IMO, Jazz1 has the right attitude; "Sod it, I'm having the car I want and I don't care if I lose money - it's worth it to me."

Gazboy Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I agree in part but it is a kick in the balls that the depreciation is because so many chavs have ruined the image of a car, rather than it's natural curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 it all depends what kit you put on a car, anyways i have no regrets money is not everything and neither will anyone take the money with them when they die, so im enjoying my life to the max rather than watch my money pile up:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Has anyone said the standard supra looks crap? Or is it just OTT kitted ones! In fairness stock (especially silver) pre facelift supes do look kinda crap... IMHO Not sure if I like that Porsche or not, like someone said, you want the one out of Bad Boys How does it drive? I worry that it would drive too much like a modern car? Not been in one though so I really don't know... It is pretty though, bet you're chuffed.

Supragal Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Don't get me wrong, it's not like they are horrible by any stretch but they did good with the facelift. Given I owned a pre facelift I'm hardly against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 lol, tbh I own a pre-facelift too and am unsure if I could honestly tell the difference at a distance other than front indicators..... but thats just me I doubt the general public could tell either if they both had private plates. it was just the 'pre facelift supes do look kinda crap' tickled me as they aren't a million miles apart. but I get what you mean And 'if I want you're opinion, I'll give it to you' lol, ^^^ thats a joke btw, just in case I get flamed again for using humour, (In my opinion) on a very serious forum...

Bobbeh Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 In fairness stock (especially silver) pre facelift supes do look kinda crap... IMHO I agree they dont look great in Silver, facelift rear lights help in that case. I'm of the school of thought that a decent set of wheels and maybe a front lip is all thats required to make them look decent. Nothing more.

I should probably clarify that it's a jspec thing too. I'll just reiterate for the sake of clarity, I supes. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
