I'd be surprised if he gets the £6995 he's asking for it now. I paid £6500 for it back in 2003 when it had 18K miles less. But you never know, another mug like me might come along.
Glenn, [and Tony ], it never ceases to amaze and amuse me the brass neck that car salesmen have.

Two different salesmen took the trouble to show you both the low book value for the SVX because you were trading/selling the cars to them

What do you think are the chances these books or book values will be produced to show to the customers who come in to buy the cars?

Yeah, that's what I think , too.

This is the reason I have not dealt with car dealers for years. In the words of Quentin Wilson I think it is, "they want all the money".

Every cheap car I import from Japan, I bask in the warm glow of knowing I am making it it harder for them to shift their stuff, or at least keep down the prices.
