Running costs of a 20 year old Mercedes CL500 -v- the depreciation on a new Taycan Turbo.
I run practical modern classics…. And often get criticised for it - ‘they cost a fortune to run’, ‘they always go wrong’, ‘killing the planet’ etc etc but the reality is that a 20 year old car that’s in good condition & has been well maintained is a very practical daily driver. It’s done its depreciation, it’s almost always carbon neutral by this point and even with higher average annual running costs than a new car it still beats facing the depreciation of buying a new EV.
I’m sure some of you will agree and that some of you won’t, but either way I love driving my 20 year old cars every day.

    What a lovely testimonial. I'm in the USA and think when you have a car that you know to be good, and you love it, then it only makes sense to keep it. However, with this car I have a concern. My understanding in regard to this version of Rolls is that younger people have a hatred for them due to hatred of particular type of business wealth in English society. I learned this a few years back when I was enjoying a video made by a young woman car reviewer on this version of Rolls-Royce. All was fine until she drove into a city area and then people roughly between the ages of twenty to forty, began sneering, hollering vulgar remarks, and make awful hand gestures to her, upon seeing that Rolls. It was clearly political, and seemed to be coming from what we call The Left here in the USA. It seems to me that with that type of hate for a car that it isn't safe for the owner or the car. Therefore, in that case I'd have to say, sell it.

      All cars will need repairs and maintenance, but I still think these are disproportionately cheap even taking running costs and repairs into account. A low mileage, well maintained example with no structural corrosion or ABC issues should be sensible to run.
