Yeah I can understand the fact that a petrol guzzzling , high insurance car will not be as desireable as it was before the recession, but if you look at the prices of these cars in japan, or even recent imports... they are still asking good money..... sometimes - a bit too good.
I actually buy and sell cars for a living and recently there has been a trend for cars to go up in value.... admittadly its the diesels and low capacity cars that are more desireable in hard times - most performance cars did suffer but for the value of a car to half in 18 months..... seems a bit drastic? Especially when you consider the price of parts. Currently you could buy a st185 with mot tax etc. for 500-1k , a new turbo costs that much!
why cant you find a cossie,subaru,evo or the like for 1k???? Are our cars shit??? Is it a lack of aftermarket parts ???
