I know thatIf you don’t want to lose money then I would avoid a a newer MaseratI full stop, they all depreciate just at different speeds.
You buy a Strad because you want it for what it is, how it drives and makes you smile.
I made precisely that call 10months ago....no regrets!I know that
The judgement I am trying to make is to keep the GTS or upgrade to a Strad - I have a smile on my face already.
A GT3 is a lot more distinct to a regular 911, than a Strad is to a GTS MC. That aside, I agree. Indeed a 996 GT3 is currently a relative bargain, even though values have lifted quite a lot in recent years, but now seemingly settled again.Crystal ball gazing is always tricky but there does seem to be an alignment between numbers made, available for sale and values. Eg. Regular 911s are not high depreciators but GT3s seem to hold value much better. I think it is similar with Strads as the cheapest (often higher miles and poorer condition) do not seem to have ventured below £50k over the past 3 years. My QPV GTS lost £24k over 3 years and 25k miles. My GTS MC Shift lost £14k over 2 years and 10k miles. I have had the Strad just under a year and prices seem to be at about the same level so would suggest Strad values may have reached a floor. I hope I am not wrong but who knows.
Hi
Having started looking at Aston V12’s I am also contemplating a Strad.
Does anyone have any figures on depreciation or sale prices on Strads V GTS. Over say the past 5 years.
Pointers to any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
id be tempted to get a DBS in your case if you are looking at astons... you can pick them up for circa 60k and id bet you a pound to a piece of poo that they will only go north.
If you are looking at depreciation looking at current prices the V12 is a good bet. The original manual seems to have stopped depreciating. The V12S seems to be slowing but probably a little more to go. The original manual is getting pretty close to an S price wise. Stradale seems to be holding up well to but who can tell with what's happening in the world. I would just buy the one you like the most and enjoy while you still can.
This real life example is particularly helpful - thank you.I have owned mine for almost 4 years having paid £77k from a main dealer in December 2016, with options it was around £130k new in October 2013. I am guessing it would now RETAIL somewhere between £50k - £55k now and I imagine that the curve is now flattening somewhat

Of course this wont be an investment and I expect depreciation but I am currently sat in a GTS which I love to bits, it’s a 2010 and depreciation will now be minimal, or swap out to an AM or Strad so this helps my thinking.
