Muffleman Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 It's not just supras that are cheap ! If you've got a few quid you can pick up some bargains at the moment. But I guess that's the point, not many people are splashing the cash right now. Remember just two years ago the new V10 M5 was all sold out for 2 years ? And something like £66k without options ? Second car down, just 12k on the clock http://www.taylorsofsheffield.co.uk/GetDealer.do?did=17724&pageid=1 Or the current RS4 ? http://www.fontain.co.uk/vehicle-details.asp?region=&order=&Model=1085&Make=&BodyType=&FuelType=&Transmission=&intMin=&intMax=&RSpage=1&ID=651613 And don't forget you cant get an R8 for love nor money unless you pay over list price of £83.5k without extras ??? http://www.fontain.co.uk/vehicle-details.asp?region=&order=&Model=1284&Make=&BodyType=&FuelType=&Transmission=&intMin=&intMax=&RSpage=1&ID=637147 I really must stop browsing the autotrader website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Yeh, selling cars is proving to be a bit of a problem too... I HAD a few people interested in my car, 1 very interested, now he is having financial problems meaning I'm almost back to square 1 Damn relationships have a lot to answer for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Losing a grand year on the Supra hurts until you see virtually everything else crashing in value. Someone last week on PH was offered £10.5k trade in for his 996 Carrera. My brother was in a biddng war for his latest M3 a few months ago and now he is selling it cannot get barey half the price he paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 yes cars may be cheap to buy but they are now much more expensive to run; Petrol prices, road tax increases, insurance increases, m.o.t. price increases, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 M5's have dropped in price a lot, 9 months ago a low miles car like this would have been 16k, i fancy another one of these myself, great car. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/644379.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Well I'm not complaining... I bought myself a little 1.8 SRI corsa (6 years old) for a bargain price and it is totally mint (and a rocket). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
