    New cars. After a car has been owned by one owner, for however short a period of time, it dramatically reduces its price. At least in the UK.

      Yeah, I’m in the process of buying a new (to me), and I seriously question the value of a factory-fresh car. I’ve concluded that a car that is 2-5 years old is a much better purchase.

      If you don’t care for prestige, Opel or Vauxhall is a good bet in its premium segment. The Opel Insignia drops almost 50% in the first year and is actually a pretty good car.

        Don’t buy one with the Stellantis 1.2 PureTech engine with a wet belt. The belt will disintegrate too quickly.
