Why are you thinking of selling already?

I've had mine since Dec '10 and there's nothing I would change it for unless I won the lottery and then it would be a Ferrari California!

I'm after a new car at the end of the summer, and have been lurking here to learn about the various pitfalls before buying one. I've also been monitoring various online classifieds to get a decent understanding of pricing.

It seems to me, that things were fairly stable for the first 3 months of this year, but that prices seem to be declining more quickly now? Obvioulsy, thats only my observation, but it does seem that some cars are bing advertsised for many weeks/months, and others are appearing at lower values.

Having said that, I also looked at the GT-R register recently (I suspect the running costs are a bit more than an RS4 unfortunately), and there are 09 cars with sensible miles being advertised for 35k upwards now! They seem to be dropping around £750-£1000 per month at present.....

I agree, prices seem to have tumbled somewhat in the last 2 months.

That'll maybe be the petrol prices!? If they came back down to a normalish £1.11 a litre instead of 20% more than that, we'd probably retain more value... I wish the UN would hurry up and get rid of that fool in Libya!

When interest rates start going up as well, then we'll have some real fun!!
