I just tried looking up the reg of my next car - no surprise it doesn't show against anything because it will be delivered (and therefore registered) next week. But a website I stumbled across had me putting in my current car reg.
Slightly surprised they guesstimate the mileage - so grabbing data from the MOT website and then guessing from there. They are wrong of course but close ;-) But the bit that has me posting this is their estimation of value.
The car with extras 3 years ago was £31,165 and the estimate on there was £16,700. So quite a drop. The extras might be worth a bit more (about £6k of those) but probably not much. So this car has lost roughly £400/month in value :-)
If I took my allowance and got my own car (as brand new) I'd be pretty upset with that for depreciation. I know I have nothing to show for tax paid etc. but it works for me.
Next car is a little cheaper... But a £30+k Skoda all the same. Who'd have thought that was going to be even possible in the 80s!
