Bangernomics Basically bangernomics is the joys of depreciation-free motoring. Buy cheap, run cheaply, then run into the ground or, provided that the car has a valid MOT certificate, it may even be possible to resell. Bangernomics is the ultimate in recycling and the great thing is that the number of decent, affordable cars available has never been larger. Most cars beyond P registration, that is a decade old, are not worth much at all - but the brilliant thing is that vehicles have never been more durable. Indeed Charleston is likely to have picked an Audi because they have such a great reputation for build quality, but aren't burdened with the premium price that an older Mercedes or BMW would doubtlessly attract.
