Right a simple way to look at it is about a grand a month its more in the first 3 but on average so best bet is 3 yrs plus

Bought a brand new TDV6 Disco 3 in August 2004, paid £39K for it, sold it for £22K a couple of days before the 3 year warranty run out. (In those 3 years it was so unreliable I would have paid a fortune in repair bills if I had been paying for it myself and they were a new model so diy wasn't pratical and even local Indys didn't really want to touch it, although things are a bit easier know I believe)
I sometimes have to remember this when I'm filling up the P38, £5K a year on petrol is a whole lot better than £6K a year in depreciation and £3.5K in Derv (D3's are not ecconomical even the diesels)
I paid £7K for my P38 4 years ago would probably get £4K for it now and to be honest both the P38 and my 20 year old Classic are more reliable than the D3 ever was.
Must admit though alot less worrying when you just phone them to sort the issue at no expense to yourself, even if you do pay a high price for the privilidge.

I agree a bit on fuel and a grand a year for servicing new bits is cheap in comparison

Not a RR but a BMW X5 4.6l v8 on O3 reg traded in to the garage I work at.
Had a nose around it and found the paperwork.....
Cost new 50 odd grand but on finance so total paid = £66000
7 years later the garage were bid £10000 from an auction company if they mot'd it for a year.
Thats 56k in 7 years + 14mpg average fuel consumption + 1k for a each set of tyres

You will lose i think 22.5% of the price instantly. I think it's 5% for the privilege of buying a new car and 17.5% vat. So if you paid say £55,000 for a new Rangie you lose around £12,000 driving it out of the showroom.

In contrast, yu could buy a 200TDi disco every month, fill it with doizil, run it till it ran out, dump it and buy another one...... And still be better off.

didn't they used to say as rule of thumb you lose 30% in the first year and around 50% over 3 years?

Mate of mine has a brand new "farmer" spec Fender 90 every 12 months. He has a standing order with the local stealer.
When you take into account that he never has to tax or service it (he doesn't even wash it) it costs him about £2k a year to change - about 10%.
There's not many new vehicles out there that coukld match that.
