I wont drive french cars. If i wanted to sit with a smelly man from the AA for hours i would go to my local

Decided to fashion a small thermonuclear device. Triggers on minor bumps. Must remember to switch off when driving though.

Still angry. Still want to punch someone with a french car.

SC, you busy at the weekend?

Fast, good, depreciation full (assuming it's a spanker). That's the main downside

Work colleague was telling me yest, his £57k, 16 month '1 of 500' M3 went into the dealers for a price this week. 9k on the clock. £34k.

Dealers are absolute shysters.

options are the killer but tbh the old v8 M3 has a ceiling price

having said that they'd stick it up for 40k

that M235 as optioned was £47k..

No-one forced them to buy it though.

Honestly, what did they expect?

Heavy depreciation isn't exactly a secret.

I'm surprised they offered £34K.

I'd have expected £30K tops.

But then I'll never buy another new car.

I never said anyone was under duress to buy I was making the point that nott completed, the forecourt price will be 40ish.

I'd never trade in. Never have. Always buy cash and sell privately.
