Cheers guys, Obviously not a particularly happy bunny but over the last 10 years I've averaged less than 1K a year in depreciation whilst doing 30K a year. This just puts me up to 6K for the A8 so it means its got to last me at least 4 years if not longer with not much more expense( I don't count servicing costs as that comes no matter what I drive)

I just can't wait to get her back now, I'm currently in a cheapo hire car with a 55bhp 3 cylinder engine
