Based on the discussion about Plus 8 pricing the "investment" we made in November 2014 of £65,000 to buy Tarka may actually have been an investment.
The view here is that a tidy, well sorted Plus 8 is worth north of £85,000, so that is an increase of £20,000 over 6.5 years, or £3,000 a year.
Put it another way, in increase of 4.6% a year.
A further perspective is that the increasing value of the car has paid for all the running costs for 6.5 years....!!
SO, if one can by a good AeroMax it should appreciate at 4% to 5% a year, which is almost as good as my SIPP.
