Perhaps it's the right price but we just haven't got to that frame of mind yet.
Bang on, IMO. I'm getting thoroughly bored of the 'after 50k Miles the price drops like a stone' b0llocks! Why are people saying this? Because it keeps getting repeated on here is why! 3200 prices aren't affected by 50k Miles and the engines are deemed to be less reliable/bombproof than the 4200/GS - look at the red car Dicky Grace is selling. The 50k Miles point is perhaps relevant when the car is 3 years old, but the oldest GS is 10 this year and the newest is 6. If a 2008 car has 50k on the clock it's an average of just over 8k per year - hardly starship mileage, is it?! My car is late 2005 and has done 47k. I think it has the perfect balance of low average annual miles vs. actually being used and enjoyed. I have no intention of selling, maybe ever, but a lower value driven by nothing more than conjecture could result in a write-off if another driver was careless to run up the back of me. I'm aware of one GS that was rear-ended with no significant structural damage but cost £9k to repair!!
Once Matt has bought his GS we can all enjoy talking the values up again! In all seriousness, I think GS prices could be on the upward turn again as the market (both trade and private) is pricing accordingly and in part due to the scarcity of available cars. Good/desirable versions will always fetch good money.
