I thought I'd start a new thread for this topic.
2035 is only 15 years away. Worryingly I (hopefully and all things being equal) will then be renewing my licence every 3 years. I may have bined my HGV licence and I may no longer be wringing the neck out of a motorcycle around the countryside. Many of us here are of similar maturing years.
We may have bought our vehicles in a particular way and, unless on Lease or PCP, have an eye on trade in values somewhere down the line.
But what are our considerations as we slide towards 2035. We know car ownership will never bring untold riches but we have an eye on and are prepared to tolerate depreciation.
So in 2034 are we going to buy a 3Ltr diesel with the possibility in a years time its worthless?
Or are we going to buy it in the hope that 2nd hand ICE vehicles will become more desirable because people will be reluctant to move on?
Or are we maybe going to slip into PCP in 5 years to minimise our financial 'investment' 10 years along.? Will the trade see it coming and withdraw PCP?
Or are we going to move across to Electric sooner rather than later (despite the cost) so we are not left with potentially worthless vehicles?
Discuss :)
