The lack of Stradales on the market is inevitable with the smaller run off these cars but what does it mean for the depreciation curve? When I bought mine 15 months ago, AutoTrader consistently had 15-20 good cars advertised and that number has slowly & evenly reduced to just 4 that they are showing now - supply is clearly drying up and we know what that means.
Ted, from what you’ve said you won’t do much mileage so buy the best low mileage car your budget will allow, look after it / service it properly and it will always remain one of the most desirable GT’s out there which has to mean something to residuals in the long term.
At the end of the day it’s all about the smile factor and a well looked after, low mileage GT will always do well (certainly well enough) compared to other more ordinary brands in the same price bracket and you just can’t compare the ownership experience.
Take the plunge, you won’t look back!
