See How Much Your Car Would Have Cost When New - Page 14

Jules · 15th July 2015, 14:43

Still cheap motoring when you consider my neighbour for example has a new BMW 3 series every 3 years on lease hire

He is paying £380 per month.
Over 12 years that is £54,000 ..................for a car he doesn't even own!!!

It's blue and sits next to our blue ZT most of the time.
He takes the mick out of ours how old it is (54 plate)
We take the mick out of his because it's so bland and boring to ride in compared to our ZT.

We have the last laugh

£22,940, with the following extras:

Automatic Transmission Gearbox = £1,175
15" Crown Alloy Wheel = £129 or 4 fully fitted inc centre caps & Locking Wheel Bolts = £650
6 CD Multichanger = £325
Cruise Control = £225
Electronic Traction Control = £300
Manual Height & Lumbar Adjustment For Front Passenger Seat = £100
ITS Side Impact Protection Airbags = £150
Auxillary Fuel Burning Heater (Diesels only) = £200

We paid £900 for it so we saved around £22,040 Which is a fair bit!when considering the car had only done 90K

The car now has 17" unions on it and a blooming good service of most parts. (so is worth slightly more than its market value to me! (I think about 2.5K).

Paul,

Do you know the cost for the roof mounted DVD player in a ZT-T please?

Thanks.

Tom.

Hi Tom,

I have a Monogram price list brochure here with prices effective from 21st October 2002 and it lists it as £2,500

Mind you, you are getting a roof mounted TFT monitor, TV tuner unit, 10 disc DVD changer and various IR remote controls and IR sensors, along with the cabling involved. It sounds expensive even now, can you imagine how much it would have translated to back in 2002.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for that, I had a feeling it might be around £2,500 for it.

It's a lot easier to fit when you are building the car from the start then refitting one now!

That makes the cost of my Typhoon ZT-T 190+ circa £31,235 then.

Tom.

What did a ZT+ have as standard over the more "basic" models?

I have looked but must be missing it.

I have one from January 2000.
It is quite interesting to see the original prices, compared to what they fetch now.

Fascinating figures. Rapid depreciation with age, which levels out as condition becomes more important than registration plate. Always suspected that, but handy to have some data to back it up. Swings and roundabouts…lose on depreciation, lose on repairs
