That's what I'm hoping, but if the D5 proves unpopular then later D4's could go up in value.Andy

Nice thought Fitzy.... it may stay the cash "letting" but they definitely won't rise in value. Maybe level the depreciation curve and give their owners a less traumatic sale price MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

Funny you should mention that.
I had a 2 year old FL2 HSE to trade in about 6 months before the DS was launched and then a very similar 2 year old FL2 HSE Lux to trade in 6 months after the DS was launched and guess what? The resale prices of used FL2's were significantly better after the launch of the DS
It's seems that a lot of people saw the DS and went and bought a nearly new FL2 instead. There are so many design parallels to be drawn between the FL2 / D4 Vs DS / D5.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

I much prefer the FL2 over the DS, so can understand that with the prices and feel it will be similar with the D4/5 as people either don't like the new model or can no longer afford it.Andy

Wouldn't be able to afford a new one, nothing wrong with the D4 I have now.Displaced Yorkshireman.

Very disappointed. Nice looking car from outside but poor inside when compared with D4. Should do wonders for D3 and D4 residual values!
