Not sure it works like that in reality..........


anyway ................. who has a purple car

This is also all assuming you will be selling privately. Most people trade their car in and in that case your likely to be offered less.

Anyway who knows whether in 3 years time White will still be popular so that is still risky. Silver has certainly gone out of fashion. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

So now your telling me that changing my order from Bali Blue to Silver wasn't a good move

I remember years ago reading a post in another vehicle forum from someone asking about the resale value of extras he was thinking of ordering. Someone gave an answer that I thought was very good:

"Who are you buying this car for? You or the next owner?"

And that's sort of been my philosophy since, if I'm spending a fortune (for me) on a vehicle, I don't want to spend the next 3 years driving it around wishing I hadn't compromised on what I really wanted for the sake of resale value.

At the end of the day, if we just worried about resale values we'd all be driving boring japanese or german boxes with no gadgety extras. Every RRS owner is set to lose enough £££ to buy a new small car when it comes to selling. Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+

Poor John, all he posted as an advert for his car! This thread has been well and truly hijacked. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

why cant you "get on with it"?

£12k in 2 months, think that even beats XXXAngelXXX!

I'm fussy about the ride, but thought the RRS was very good for a heavy car on 20's. BMW I don't think are anywhere near as good. 2010MY Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE

Guys

The dealer has withdrawn his offer, apparently they had a customer lined up, and he has bought their demo car, so will re-post, at reduced price.
