I was following a thread on the Jaguar forum on XKR prices. Having bought one this year I stopped reading after a page or so as it made my eyes water.
Got me thinking about assets in freefall. eek
Gas guzzlers are clearly one. Seems like anything on the FTSE would be another, such as your savings or pension.
So what is falling fastest??

My mate bought an Alfa for £20K and sold it the next year for £5K. Come to think of it, maybe he was ripped off...

I was noticing this the other day. Also the same with a Lamborghini Gallardo; I've seen them knocking about for about £60K.
