In 2008, I paid £32500 privately for my Roadster, a fall of £7500 from the new cost of £40,000 in 2005, so 18.75% depreciation.

So when I bought my Plus 4 in 2016, for £48,000, I was well aware of the likely fall in value, but this was worth it to experience buying new.
18.75% of £48,000 is £9,000, so that's £39,000 at three years old. And that's fine.Now at eight years old, who knows, but if £30,000 is the level, so be it.
If it's less? It really doesn't matter.
