Nice car but the problem is its actually 2 expensive.
give it one more year and just like any other "average family car" ( I like the MG6 but just saying it )
it will be worth 7k if that, unfortuantly it does not have the following to make it into the lower depreciation groups.
I like the MG6 alot but will wait till its 4 years old and about 4k or less before I get one.

Agree with Dan on this the depreciation on these will be huge, one with 5k less on the clock recently only reached 9.5k at auction but unclear if it sold at that

It drops 20% as you drive it away from the dealers, you need to talk to John Newey at Summit Garage about the drop in values of cars generally, let alone MGs.

Kimshros bought a 2005 TF Spark with 14k on the clock, which cost the owner close to £22,000 new (it also had a Heritage colour coded hardtop, MGR windstop and Tonneau) and she paid £2700 for the car. it is an absolutely beautiful car but what a drop in price in 7 years

My Clio Sport Tourer is 10 months old. It cost new £15000 (I have seen the receipt) I paid £8020 for her which included 11 months tax and a full tank of petrol!

John that is nearly 50%off

It is, I dread to think what the garage paided for it! She was up for £9499, they have a few at that price. Mine is still on their site http://www.suttonparkrenault.co.uk/advsearchresults.asp?Make=26&Model=389&numdoors=&min_pr=9000&max_pr=15000&Fuel=&Gearbox=&Year=&body=&LocationID=0&imageField.x=37&imageField.y=12

They did say they made very little on her, they just wanted to keep the money moving.

John, did you go to Sutton Park for that one?

No Gaz, he only goes their dogging

Dealers usually like to make £1500 to £2000 on a sale (John will probably shoot me down on this, because margins are so low!) My daughter traded in her TF for a Honda Civic sport, and the Honda dealer put it up for £1500 mare than he gave in part X the same day and they didnt even bother to clean it, mind you it was a superb example and is the Starlight Silver on on the paint codes here. We dont know what they sold it for?
