With a CTR you ain't gonna lose much in terms of depreciation so if you would prefer to buy a new one and lose more money than buying a second hand one go for it

It depends what car, i'd buy new if it was a CTR because they are holding their Value. I would never buy a new Corsa again

The guy in the Honda garage wanted to sell his demonstrator at only £500 off new price because of the wait. Nearly new stuff looses nothing at all.

I was lucky... I happened to turn up at the Honda dealer just as they were having a new black demonstrator delivered and well... the rest is history
