£30,000 off a new 7 series anyone?

Stallingrad

£80k marked down to £50k. Makes you wonder what kind of margins are on these cars, and is anyone buying them.

Also makes you wonder what it will be worth in 12 months, if you had bought at full retail would you be £50k down in one year?

Makes no sense to buy or drive something like that.
Stupendous depreciation as you say, and insane tax and insurance.

It's also a ridiculous size. Nightmare to drive in an urban area or maneuver around a tight car park.
Reminds me of the american style "full size" cars.

Tax is only 390 per year and no extra loading in insurance worth talking about! I drive the same size Car and don't have a bother parking but avoid certain multi story's as it don't fit too good! I still wouldn't buy it though for another 10 year's..

Expensive cars suffering heavy depreciation is not a new concept.

This one has dropped 80k in 2 years with very little use:

"AMBIENT INTERIOR LIGHTING PACK WITH 64 INDIVIDUAL COLOUR SETTINGS"

Yeah, you clearly have not lived a full life until you have sacrificed €80k for the sake of this sort of gibberish gimmick. A fool and their money.....

I doubt somebody buys a V8 petrol for the ambient lighting.

If you're buying a new 7 series 400 quid tax isn't a worry to you. And the insurance is probably less than a ten year old Accord. There are plenty of reasons to drive such a nice car if one can afford it.

Where's the extra £9005 coming from?

Mooooo

Last year they discounted the 6 series down to near 4 series money from.new over there, BMW UK seem to have no problem doing it unlike over here, for any brand

That would be a much better but IMO. Probably cheaper once VRT included.
