    Come springtime we’ll be able to drive and simply swap our NA for an NC ,,, maybe even with cash back

    Would love to experience one, even run one for a while, but not sure it would have the long term appeal of the NA series ...

    Any NC owners care to chip in on the usability and thoughts about long term ownership, i.e., do you intend to keep like NA owners have?

    Drove past it yesterday, certainly the cheapest I've seen. Not sure about the Curva red, otherwise I would have taken it home ��

    But sadly only for depreciation ...

    I really don’t understand why what is reported to be such a great drivers car has fallen like this ... support, original market positioning, price, network, image ... all of the above??

    My view is that in sadly too many cases, the car was sold to people that had no interest in the car, just an interest in having the "new thing". As there will always be many "new things" in the future, they will be traded-in after a relatively short period of time, simply to acquire the next "new thing".
    Depending on your viewpoint, this is either a great example of freedom of choice, or rampant consumerism.

    This is an article from October 2016

    https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/n...rcars-compared

    So if we take the BMW I8 first, a 2016 car with 10k miles your looking at about £50k, so 50% less than new.
    Mclaren, a 2016 570s will set you back between £90 and £100k so between 63% and 69% less than new.
    The NSX, one 2016 model for sale at £87k so 63% less than new.

    So has it fallen, my answer would be no. It's just where the market is right now for these cars, if you take a 2016 911 Turbo they have appeared to have faired better (not lost so much money) but you don't know if a car has only £5k worth of extras or £25k!

    Am I keeping mine, YES! In fact I was out in it yesterday and what a car it is, with people still stopping to look and stare. I was especially impressed by the two young ladies keeping up with me in a Fiesta over the Dartford crossing.
