Default Ouch that hurts

Just had a butcher's at the latest "bible" and it doesn't make for pleasant viewing. A 54 WRX STi Type UK is listed as having lost £700 over the previous month. Your best bet is a 97 classic cos that "only" lost £125.
Crikey! What is it - over supply, image, projected heatwave?

Free PPP on a brand spanker???

I know the insurance is a ball ache, but I certainly wouldnt buy a 54plate if PPP was free on a new one.

From a dealer a price of £26-27k (prices in Robinsons Rochdale today) for a 54 STI, when I could get a new one with PPP for the same or even less with mucho haggling - its a no-brainer

Used car values are on the floor at the moment, cars are not selling - well, only the VERY best ones are!!

No buyers = rapidly falling prices

I just parted with my Z4 for £22k, was invoiced at £32500 new in June 2004.
£700/month is peanuts!! I had to get rid of it sharpish on 28th May as June's bible would have creamed it even more.

Have mates trying to get rid of a 53 crossfire and 54 RX-8 and not having a sniff. I personally think that at the moment anything worth more than £20k will struggle to sell privately and the dealers know it so are taking the p1ss with trade in prices.
