Only time residules hold up is when there is too much demand for the car and not enough supply like the Mini and the orginal TT. Mini were actaully telling folk they couldn't even order for 8 months then there was a 3 month wait to get the car once the order was placed so if you didn't want to wait you bought second hand for funny money!

I can only but imagine what it must be like for the Focus ST, it was supposedly only worth 35% of its original value 3 years down the line......wonder if its worth anything really?
