Buying a Vauxhall Insignia - why such high depreciation?
I've been looking at second hand prices on low mileage 2012 Insignias. Cars that cost £24,000 new are being sold via Auto Trader for around £10,000 a few months later. I know nobody pays the full list price, but the depreciation still seems very steep - worse than even Fiats and Citroens. Are these cars really that bad?
