You could always buy a second hand (shock horror) executive driven model. My father in law works for a large manufacturer that offers long term employees special pricing on their executive driven cars. Most of them are priced well below market value so in effect they
are an investment. I figured out that one model I was interested in had employee pricing that was roughly the same as a 12-18 month old car - so I could acquire it, drive it for a year and sell it for a net depreciation loss of zero.
Pity it had a totally fugly plasticy dash and door trim. I bought something prettier elsewhere.
