    Used car prices

    Are the asking prices actually coming down? Is anyone getting a sports car bargain?

    Small cars no, large cars (2000cc +) yes.

      Medium sized cars?

      I have a VW Golf for sale as needed to get bigger for to cope with two kiddies and the Mrs. Put it on before the kiddie was born for the Parker's Guide price and had one call about it. Have dropped £700 quid and listed again now that the baby is less hassle and had a couple of calls but all saying they cannot pay advertised price. Will be about £1200 off the guide price in May by the time I sell I expect.

      Made the mistake of making it as tidy as possible before selling, should have listed sooner and for slightly less

            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              What Golf have you got and how much is it on for? I'm looking for a Mk5 golf at the moment. Not offered any yet though

                Local garage has a 2004/53 XKR convertible, decent spec, 24k miles, stickered at 18,999. He suggested 17k in folding would do it. Books at 22-26.

                Mind you when I then asked him what he might think about my 2000 740 with 60k he did only want to go to 3k. Guess 'll be keeping it for a while

                    True, but I quite like 'em. I have a mate who's just bought a 56 S2000 (18k miles) for a good chunk more 16k - but did get a very good price on an impreza.

                    Another mate just sold an Turbo R. The depreciation only worked out at about 2.40 per mile......
