It is quite a nice article. Confirms to me, that I'll try my damnedest to NEVER sell my A2. I always wanted one, but was a student when they came out, didn't have the income to buy one then, and was happy for many years with little and overpowered french cars and later big silky smooth petrol straight sixes.
The A2 is a car for me at this time in life, and for these economic times now it has depreciated to more affordable levels.
I'm surprised more people don't have A2s, but presume people are put off by the age of the vehicles now and that they still hold their value. Most want a much newer car to impress their peers.
On a slight tangent, has anyone experienced difficulty getting breakdown cover for their A2 based on its age?
My old BMW, a '98, was the most reliable car we had and did about 20k miles without issue. In the 2 years we had it, it rescued the wife and son when her Honda (of all things) broke down. When the wife was purchasing breakdown cover for herself and me, the BMW was too old to be included in the policy!
Anyway, I think the materialistic mentality most people have in this country will prevent, in the main, our beloved A2's price appreciating.
