apologies for my outburst.
i was never officially clocked at a specific speed.
but the two officers in the car said i was doing 50 in a 25, and 70 in a 35.
just come back from court now. i've got a year off the roads, and a £500 fine :/
bad times, sorry about the sus, you have to understand I had little choice.
hope you can get back in the car you want after the ban is up.
a) They are actually worth 2.5k more than a facelift and the seller has to wait it out for a buyer (much like a DC5)
b) They are overpriced and buyers are saving 2.5k and getting a non-prem leaving the prems sitting for months
I was after a premier because I preferred the seats and wanted rear tints as they look good on cosmic imho
my Jan 2004[53 plate] was a bargain at 4.5k in honesty it was the first car I went to look at with a view to buy but had driven a lot before i had the money together.
4.5K for my car was cheap when i got it at the start of Feb, it seemed that cosmic grey cars were demanding 5k+ and a sub 60k example would be 5.5k+
essentially i got mine a grand cheaper than going rate because the dealer either wanted shut of it or didn't know what he was doing.
premier editions I looked at were commanding 6k+ for an example in good condition. which I just couldn't justify for different seats and tints.
to all intents and purposes I was facing the prospect of paying £1500+ more for the same car.
I think a starting price of £6k-£6.2k is a good mark for a tidy example
Essentially, Muffin has it spot on, the market sucks at the moment and the buyer has the advantage unless you are really in no rush to sell.
