« on: April 01, 2008, 22:01:45 »
Well I'm in shock,the wife's got a Shogun Sport 3.0 V6 on a 05 plate (cost £20,000 just less than 3 years ago).Tried to trade it in at the weekend,best offer I got was £7,000.One guy had one just like it on his forecourt for £11,000 (offered us £6,000)for ours.Pete :cry: :cry: :cry: :(

Unforetunatley, the "rule of thumb" is that a new car is only worth 1/3 its new purchase value after 3 years.

Some may do better, some much worse.
