Any particular reason? Depreciation alone?
I've only ever bought second hand or ex-demo. After my ex-demo experience with the Elise, I'm thinking I might buy new in the future.

Lol, that would be even worse! Then you'd have to fix the stuff the guys at the factory fcuked up! Low milage second hand, at least means 90% of the niggly delivery faults will have been rectified.

I'd buy 2nd hand over an ex-demo car as the original owner would've gotten the faults fixed under warranty. The demo car would only have been used for a few miles at a time so nobody would've cared much about the faults I guess.
If you do intend buying new, go and speak to Graeme at MMC, I'm sure he'll do you a good deal
