My D3 S8 dropped by £18k in the 10 years between me buying and selling it. So only about £1.8k depreciation PA.

The thing with these cars is that, assuming they are maintained, depreciation is going to taper off once you've had them for a few years, and likely start rising.

I'd say to get one that has a good history, fewer owners the better. And unless you are going to be using it a lot, the miles are less important than a car your going to be happy owning for many years to come. So be picky about getting the spec/colour you desire.
A car can tickle you in different ways on different days. It might be the raw power today and then breezing along listening to music tomorrow or just being a great pace to be.

The car you want is the one that you'll look forward to getting into, and back at as you leave it.
