Used prestige-brand cabriolets value has fallen to a extraordinary low, according to Glass’s, publisher of a guide to used car prices.

Glass’s Guide has reported that year-old drop-tops from premium marques are worth up to 24% less than in March 2008. This suggests that possible buyers should reflect on buying now before price rises in the run up to summer.

Glass’s equated values of one-year-old roadsters like the BMW Z4, premium cabriolets such as the Audi A4 Cabriolet, and luxury drop-tops such as the Jaguar XK Convertible in March 2008 to March 2009. Every vehicle had extra depreciation of at least 17%. The biggest extra fall in value was for the Mercedes-Benz SLK 280, with a one-year-old example worth 24% less this month than an identical car of the same age in March 2008.
For example, the price difference between a one-year-old Mercedes-Benz SL350 and a SL500 is only £3,425, despite the cost difference when new being nearly £13,000.

BMW is building a new BMW Z4, we all know that.. but the only thing we saw were some pictures with camouflage. Well today we spotted some nice images on the web about this new ride. Personally I am a real BMW fan!, but for some reason I didn’t liked the Z3 and current Z4, just because the rear end of the car. It didn’t had the looks I was hoping for. Well with the new Z4 for the year 2009 they have made it!
If I had the money to get one, I was already running right now Damn what a nice car! Great front! Really outstanding good, and finally the rear is great. A perfect car! (more…)
