He was thinking to buy a used 2007 S80 V8 with 5000 miles for US$ 35,000.
Will there be a chance that it can depreciate significantly since it is a used car?

It's not a bad car though, definitely a different level of driving. It's very comfortable and has a high degree of passive safety. Makes you wanna drive slow ...

With all of the flying breast signature photos the members on this site have, I would think a car made by TATA would be quite popular...
