im guessing those values are based on predicted trade in values, as im pretty sure a proton would be worth more than 2k after 3 yrs on the general market

that said is seem to be the larger and heavier vehicles with expensive repair/running costs that get hit the hardest, but it always has been, and as a rule if you can afford to buy them the residuals are not an issue

the only ones that were a suprise as such were the c5 and the zafira but then finding a good example that doesnt require major work is quite hard

And what has that got to do with the P1s? Would be clever to post that in the S80 section

Vauxhall Insignia, average new price £33k ???
Dubious figures some of these.

Try and convince a Volvo dealer that you'll pay £6.2k plus £1500 profit for that 3 year old S80 !!

Big cars such as the S80, A8, 7 Series and Jag XJ have always lost value at a stonking rate though.

Older Jags can make cracking used buys if you can afford the fuel.
