Can't argue with residuals like that!

Question you've gotta ask yourself is, what would you replace it with? Most stuff like this seems to drop value relatively sharply when new, but the mk2 RS defies belief really.

Each to their own and I do like what Ford produced but the car isn't exactly well finished (fake mesh by head lights, nasty brake callipers etc) Just amazes me how solid the prices are, obviously there's a lot more people who want one than there are cars available or something.

Despite my personal opinion of the car, I think they'll still be fetching strong money in a few years. You could buy a new Impreza (or similar) and lose close to £10k in the first 5 years, I bet your RS won't lose anywhere near that in the next 5 years.
