Expected Annual Depreciation
Yep S2K @ 14k and above and FD2R @ 11k and above as of nownAEs wrote:I doubt it's at SGD12k per year. More realistic will be SGD14-17K per year basis on the current asking price of pre-owned S2000.
My CL7R due scrap within mtns, i'm now doing my math between a 2007 ~ 2008 FD2R and AP2
Road tax aside, insurance for existing CL7R is @ 1.2k
I was quoted for FD2R is about 1.5k est and AP2 @ 2.2k est
B16A - AE101 - M112 - M15A - M16A - M20A - R18A - K20A - EA113 - N13B16
At 10k pa, its cheap. If its 13k, its still ok. Don't think its possible to find another similar styled car with convertible roof plus 100+hp per litre at this depre.
And, not forgetting this car comes with good reliability and cheap maintenance (my opinion), so long as the engine is stock and not badly abused.
A level higher would be the turbo cars and bigger CC jdms. Even if one can get a fairlady (for example) at the same depre of say 13k, s2k is still a better buy. Lower maintenance and reliability. Power isn't everything, especially if the car is a daily drive.
When I owned my ap2, I thought I could have bigger hp by adding SC or doing stroke. Honestly, leave the car as it is, that's the best. Its the mods which bring up the actual depre/ running cost on the car. If I have a chance to buy it again, it will be a very stock car with exhaust and intake. That's it.
PS: If the depre is too exp, then buy and don't mod. Still ok.
