Not at all, The last subaru I bought I got brand new and have kept it for 3.5 years. Seem to remember people who listed their cars on here (RS Focus being the most recent) at over the new rrp were berated as carpet baggers.

scoobynutta555, think you should only criticise if you've actually driven one....

scoobynutta555

And ill bet you've never criticised something without first hand experience of it In any case that's not the point I've pressed.

Glad to see you have your name back

Clarkson's across the field from me, haven't seen him driving a GT yet

The Sunday Times Tom Hartley ad had this car at either £199k or £180k (can't remember which!)

Anyweay, nice (ex-) car mate - you have good taste. I'd have done exactly the same!

My father nearly bought an original GT40 in 1972; the bloke only wanted £2,500 for it but there wasnt anywhere/class to race it and it was too nice to split.

It was the car driven by Innes Ireland on the M1 at over 200MPH before the (temporary!) 70MPH restriction came into force: and it was in the last owner's original team livery too; duck egg blue and tangerine ffs.......... It wasnt even a customer car, it was an original Gulf.

This car'd have at least six zeros in is price tag now.

I do properties too. Nevertheless, there's no stamp duty/capital-gains to pay on cars - which is nice.

Patt@firstime

Nor as much fun fair play, gorgeous car mate

scoobynutta555

Just horrendous depreciation if you get it wrong remember the xj220?

DavidBrown

Indeedy. Any outlay can be a risk.. ask those who lost their houses in negative equity positions in the early 90s and there's a predicted 16% drop in the coming 12-24 months.. EEK!

scoobynutta555

Yep, got my first 3 just after the last drop. However, looking at 15 years since the last drop houses are much more than their last peak. And with my gearing of 30% I'm not complaining if they crash now

Of course if houses crash then most 'big items' like supercars and luxury items will collapse as well.

Never gonna happen imho, not 16% anyway

wwp8

are they recalling them back??
re:autoexpress

Danny B

Who told you that rubbish, 2% has been predicted over the next 12 months but seeing as how prices have been rising for 9 years this is hardly going to cripple people.

Belmondo

Yep all been recalled until further notice due to a manufacturing fault which they don't have a fix for. OK if you paid list for it because if the **** hits the fan at least you get your money back. I pitty the folks who have paid £200,000 plus....................... Except Clarkson 'cause he's an undeserving git.

DavidBrown

I don't understand the big deal, Ford have identified a problem and issued a recall. Recalls happen all the time.

Heck, Ferrari would call it a "feature" and charge you extra.

Regarding house prices, they've been spiralling up and up for a long time, some trebling their value in just 5 years.. so I don't see why a 16% drop is so hard to believe - particularly when interest rates go up.

Because this would make people hard up, and by denying it will happen will make in not happen.

Catch my drift
