NiallXKR-S

Hi folks, Just joined as as I haven't purchased the car yet. After owning a 911 turbo, corvette z06, GTR, tuscan and a noble m400, I'm after something usable for long weekends away regardless of weather (unlike the vette, TVR and noble) and exciting/interesting to drive with a bit of theatre (unlike the 911 and GTR!) Ive always liked the look of a signature blue xkr-s and feel it might fulfil the brief. I've driven a standard 5.0 xkr and whilst I liked it, it was a little too GT for me. The S has that extra edge and individuality. Anyway, depreciation is a concern. Correct me if I'm wrong: the earliest cars are currently a smudge under £50k - has this not been the case for a while now?? I'm sure I looked 12 months ago and found the same thing. Do you fellas think these cars will hold their value reasonably well? Thanks for any insights. Niall
