Default Bloodbath in the FS section.

Just looking in the forsale section on here.

Seems like the S (future classic) 2000 prices are in a bit of a bloodbath.

I guess the current downturn in the economy really is shafting some people. Damn those credit cards, Ocean finance and mortgage lenders. They are out to get us all with their carrots on sticks

I sold mine at the end of May.

I think I missed the 'bloodbath' by about 2 weeks as I got my asking price.

Bloody lucky I think.

Saw a 2000-plate S2K for sale in a local Glasgow paper yesterday.

I actually think I may have slightly undervalued mine judging by the amount of calls I have had this weekend

I have a new car lined up, values are quite shocking but so is the price I will be getting my new car for

No Ocean finance worries for me, I'm getting a new motor because of a payrise

I don't know anybody affected by this credit malarky, has it all been invented ?

Maybe it's only affecting stupid people ?

i think it's affecting everyone.

people are finding it difficult to get credit, therefore the housing market is imploding, retailers are struggling because people have put the brakes on none essentials spending, Jonsey is trading up therefore he's being affected but in a positive way. We're all paying more for our energy and our food etc etc

it may be subtle, it may not be affecting your life significantly but there is worse to come imo

doom and gloom rant over

Only in so much as the deal I can get on a new car would balance out the price of my car, I probably won't save a massive amount at this price in the end anyway!

You're only seeing one element. Ocean finance customer's are one thing....


You seen the inflation figures recently ?

Once the spiral starts, its a minimum of a 3 years cycle to stop it, and it is the whole economy that's affected.
