Default The depreciation slammers thread

What with the prices of cars in free fall(my own included) I thought it would be interesting to post up cars that are just crazy money now - mainly things you never thought would fall so far -

Rules: -

Pick your car
Use autotrader to find nations cheapest non CATD etc available
Post picture and brief detail

So


1998 PORSCHE 911 2dr Tiptronic S [996] Carrera Coupe

An interesting addition to each sighting might be mpg, and CO2 figures( for later cars). I think that these two elements, combined with the tightening up of credit are having a large influence on the market.

Cheapish:

"ALFA ROMEO, 3000 V6 GTV, 1999 (T) 103000 MILES, 9 MONTHS MOT, 4 MONTHS TAX, FULL BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR, JVC CD PLAYER, 1000 WATT AMP 600 WATT SUB, FINISHED IN A NICE METALLIC BLUE. BODYWORK NEEDS A LITTLE TLC BUT NOTHING TOO BAD, ALSO REAR WHEEL BEARING NEEDS REPLACING AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON"
