Lexus are real keen to deal just now, they were chasing me to have a 24 hour test drive of a is200 today.Didn't know I'd shown an interest in one!
So it's interesting, but perhaps not surprising, to see such a big over valuation,than Merc dealer.
Depending on finances & if you've another car to use in the meantime, could the dealer you eventually choose for the new car, try to pre-sell the old one,before your finaly commiting to purchase?Would they display & advertise it for no/minimal cost?
Of course insurance & commonsense precations, prevailing!!

They called from their direct marketing operation, I think.

PS You might notice our yard rapidly reduce in size, soon we've sold most of it for housing.
Now what to do with all that £££££!

My MB depreciation was ok
Bought a new SLK 200 for 25,000 March 2001, with a 4,000 trade in for a car worth 3,000.
Sold it back to same dealer Feb 2003, 10,000 on clock for 19,000 cash. Tried selling privately but got no interest.
5,000 for 2 years of a quality motor, about the same as a car half the price.

That looks good to me. I lost £7k on a £10k car (was £17k new, bought at 3 years old) in just over 2 years and 20,000 miles.
I may buy a better marque like a MB in the future but could only run to a nearly new base C class I think. Couldn't buy a BMW because of their reputation. Or rather the characteristics of their owners.
How big is a C class anyway? Is it old Avensis or Mondeo size or bigger?
