• Citroen C4 Picasso 2013+ - Citroen C4 Picasso 2013+ pros and cons 1 May 2015 (Forum)
  This car will depreciate by thousands after the first year, and then flatten out, so it’s probably better to buy a year-old car with some of the warrantee left over, and a wedge cushion. I have mixed feelings about this car.

• Autotrader volume of ads 28 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I have noticed that the number of cars for sale on Autotrader has decreased in the last 4 months from around the 390,000 mark to around 320,000. Is this due to less people buying new ones and hanging on to their old cars, so less p/x's or private sales to me made?
