Depreciation...

The dark green one he did admit that was a buying error and they just can't seem to shift it.

So, given 37k 2012 dynamic today, crystal ball time, in 12 months would be worth......? 30? Less?

Do you think the 9 speed auto / refresh will see first edition Evoques dip in price?

I've never seen a dark green one in the flesh. They are certainly not a popular choice in or around London.

(Just had a look on the LR website and I'm not sure at all about Aintree Green)

Yes, because the current auto is rubbish. I had a new golf as a hire car yesterday, the dsg is very good. Made me realise how bad the evoque box is.

Nothing wrong with our Evoque auto box, as for a golf, most over rated car of the last three decades!

Got to agree, evoque auto box is better than any Audi or Vw with DSG I have owned.

There isn't much wrong with the Evoque's autobox BUT there are better available and LR fits much better to the bigger cars they produce. The Aisin 6 speed is getting a bit old tech now and LR has been using it in similar guises since the BMW days when the Freelander1 had the 5 speed version shoved under the bonnet in 2001.

Of course.....the auto box in the evoque is so good, LR are changing it after only 2 years........

I suppose the point is it's not *bad* as such, but it could be made better (i.e more efficient).

Building a new gearbox two years ago would have delayed the launch, so they went with what they had at the time, and when the new box was ready they refresh the car.

Makes sense, but I do worry that if a new 9 speed comes out with good MPG that the early cars will be hit be depreciation.

Please refresh my memory who is providing this 9 speed auto?
