Hello dear friends of well-kept stupid chatter, First of all: I don’t have to buy such a car, nor should I advise anyone or anything else, I just care. The prices of the exclusive Aston Martin small car Cygnet – which is built on the Toyota IQ – have just arrived in the “payable” area. A young used / demonstration car is to have the 30,000€. Quite happy for a small car. BUT: It is unique, exclusive and rare. In most cases it is not worth buying a luxury car, because the maintenance costs are simply too high. Now the Cygnet is in the maintenance but really not an expensive car. Technically it is an IQ and thus the taxes and consumption are already comparable. Insurance and maintenance should be a little higher than with the IQ, but also not soooo crass. Only the Cygnet has no value loss or possibly even a We Let’s start from the following example: A woman, around 30 years old, has 30.000€ available and wants to drive the car 4 years á 12,000km. The money left when buying will be counted 1:1 at the end. Now she has the choice between the IQ for about 10,000€ or a comparable Cygnet for 30,000€ What do you think she will get cheaper at the end of the 4 years? I’m looking forward to your opinion.
