So ive had my Roc R for almost a year now, been a blast whilst in germany but im coming back to the uk. So for being in the army coming to the uk from germany i now have to pay full price fuel, Full price tyres blah blah.
Anyways, I bought it for 25K new with cruise, 19's, parking, Dyno, Ipod and leather... im not sure if i should sell now and not lose money which is what the plan was or to keep it because "Really for the money i paid i wont get better"...
I wont want to get anything slower so leave cars like 1-2 years old S3 in the running which for the same price not worth it
Hard to know what to do...

Re: Too Sell or not to sell
Well hard to call, but you certainly have a head start on everyone else in terms of your start price...and I presume you won't get that tax advantage this time around on another new car,
and if it's as quick as the Roc R it probably won't be cheaper on fuel and tyres, unless lightweight like a lotus.
Depreciation is almost guaranteed on any car (unless classic etc) as you are doubtless aware, so 15k-10k or 25-20k its still 5k loss....I know its not as simple as depreciation rates tends to slow...but you're replacement car will suffer depreciation too and will the Roc R hold its value better on rarity ?
Practical (but obvious) advice would be to try running it over here for a few months n see how you get on...
Unless you have an immediate buyer, you will likely see in the new reg change in 2 weeks (in terms of used values), so hang on, enjoy the car, n if you still want to sell do it before next reg change ...
