Question: Who will be able to afford a car from this company (~?150k) in 2015?

I guess the state of the economy in that year must be considered, as well as the wealth of different countries and the kind of people who will be able to afford it.

What is your take on this? Would anyone be willing to share their opinions?

Hi,

For starters i would not buy a car for ?150K because after the first mile you lose so much money, unless you've got that sort of money to burn, then good luck.

5 Years ago i bought a Range Rover TD6 Vogue Brand new for ?52K now five years later with 140k miles on the clock, i'm lucky if a dealer would give me ?10k, I came into a bit of money and thought i'd buy the car of my dreams, now i wished i'd spent the money paying off my mortgage

I lost about ?10,000 a year in the cars value, thats ?200 odd a week

I must be mad, then I got a VB Licence, so now i've calmed down and learnt my lesson

I think if anyone is going to spend ?150k on a car then they must have a few pounds in the bank to burn, Good luck to them. You didn't say what type of car it is ??

I've got my eyes on a Bently now, But don't tell the Missues
