It should perhaps, but the depreciation is terrible. I have had two Audis in total and the depreciation was brutal.

Quite right, they all lose money. The Premium brands quote % residuals, as the actual figure in £ lost would scare buyers off. Very few cars hold anything near a decent residual and your Lotus is a good example. I brought a three year old Fiat panda as a commuting car in 2008, for £4k. Some five years later it's still worth £1500-2000. Shit car, but chip as chips....well possibly even cheaper than chips these days.
My X6 was £39k and 20 months old when I got it a year ago. The previous owner paid £63k. I would be lucky to get £25-28k today as a trade in.
