But there were some bargains also for those who fancied something different - a Qvale Mangusta for €29,000, or immaculate Citroen CX Safari, fresh from France, for €6000.

High Depreciation Lures Used Buyers Back to the Market 5 Feb 2009 (News)
BIG RISE IN USED CAR DEPRECIATION ATTRACTS CONSUMERS INTO SHOWROOMS Dealers across the UK are reporting a marked uplift in demand for used cars, with growing numbers of consumers tempted into showrooms by prices described by EurotaxGlass’s as having reached “historically low levels”. New analysis by EurotaxGlass’s indicates that compact MPVs (such as Citroen Picasso and Renault Mégane Scenic) have fared worst from the recent rapid rise in rates of depreciation. Trade values of three-year-old, petrol-powered variants are down by an additional 31 per cent, or £1,600, compared to identical cars of the same age at the start of 2007. -
