For me ownership has made financial sense. All my previous cars depreciated: our current shed is worth nothing but looks good enough to last another 100000 kilometers as long as we look after it . My first 4/4 covered 250000 miles and is still registered as being taxed at DVLA and I sold it for £5000 more than I paid for it. The next two have not been used to excess but provided daily transport to work and I think the current value of my Plus 4 is commensurate with what I paid for it but about £5000 more than when it was new.I have heard my wife tell friends that she would rather we had the Mog than not have it and that in the long term it has been cheap to run, That's a recommendation that I am happy with.
