As said, buy a clean genuine car with low miles at a good price and you wont be loosing much cash.Tatty, or high mile cars will always be worth less.

New model will have little or no impact at the moment, a guy spend 30k on a focus is not choosing between that or a mk 1 two different markets.

The FRS is a limited run car, and just like 3drs, escossies, there will always be people who want a clean original example and willing to pay to get it.
