quick question.
what would you do.
get an old bmw coupe like a y reg or 51 plate for around £10K
or a new model one that is an 03 plate, (its got a different front bumper and tiny changes to suspension and also will have 1 years warrenty left) for around £17K
?????????????????????

im in a quandrum ;0)

i only have to keep it 1 year.

factors i guess are....
how much do i stand to lose in 1 years time.
repair bills

what other factors do i need to take into consideration?
ta.

If you're only keeping it a year then get the older one, it will lose less money.

The 03 reg one may be affected more by the arrival of the new 3 series coupe when it gets here, the Y reg one is less likely to.
