Sarnie Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 What's aggravating me is that when I decided to buy Autocar was predicting a 60% plus residual value after 3 years and yesterday I spotted a 48% figure. Now that's a big difference on a £30k car, prediction or not. Are you saying you saw a uk zed for sale at less than £15k my mate just bought a 53 GT sat nav , rays , leather etc. etc. 30K miles silver.. a couple of weeks ago for £15k.. just got his clicky axles sorted out under warranty before it ran out But where did he buy it from?

I am trying to get a proper permanent job, but in the media, its like gold dust, however there is more money being contract/freelance, if i get this extra 6 months, i would have 3 years project manament experience which is good to have, but i want the golden leaf.
