is tipped to depreciate like a monster, faster than any other car in its
price bracket.
Overall the Honda Legend is probably best bet, as it is almost certainly
better built than any Merc or BWM
Incidentally the Honda Insight is only worth 17% of its original value after
3 years, according to car magazine, but I have yet to find an example of
this.

Which is the same car as the Hyundai XG - and it's still imported
according to the Hyundai site.

Will a 5 series depreciate enough to be purchasable? Which 5 Series? You can get E34s for under a grand. 5 Y/O Omegas can be picked up for about £4000, what else can you get in the same market place? |

In my opinion one of the best value s/h buys |
to me for sale- £4200. Now that has to be a bargain!

True - but it's a fact of life that you'll have to give in and buy FWD these days :-( |
My Omega does handle nicely, comfortable ride, plenty of room for kids, and
tows well.
FWD does not tow as well and suffers from strange behaviour due to the same
end sharing steering and drive.

They are. Early quad-cam Turbos are well under £2k for a decent runner these days :-) |

What about big French stuff like the Peugeot 605&607, Citroen XM, Renault Safrane? All very big, very comfortable and very cheap. |
FWD & doesn't handle
FWD & flakey
