  Simple question! apart from the cars that come into the super rich category, ie RR, Bentley, Bugatti/etc - is it worth buying a brand new Ford, Vauxhall, Renault, Pegout, Fiat, Chevy, Dodge Suzki, Kia/etc/etc, when these cars lose at least 33% within 3 - 6 months? I always buy six months+ old - my
