As I mentioned the other day Bob, Park's of Hamilton has been discounting recently. These cars actually look like they may be their stock.

The £47k blue car looks value now against a 530d M Sport auto which is £44k before options. That's where these need to be priced to compete head on with German car and Jaguar/Land Rover type buyers.

Indeed, trouble is Beemers are hugely discounted these days.

Ive seen lots of 10 mile cars being offered as used by dealers. I bet they can't wait for the 4x4 and the Alferi to come through as its clear that Maserati will never compete with BMW and Merc in the volume sports saloon market in the UK. This was a car that was aimed at China and the US.

...and depreciate heavily.
My BMW diesel barge when bought 1 year old with only 6K miles from the main dealer saved a third on list.

Has to be the case when new prices are being discounted by 15%.

Company purchase used to give 10% off a brand new BMW.
15% is quite high, I guess it depends on the model.

Yep, can't believe how much they now give off three series, look at the various internet brokers to get prices. Mind Audi are doing the same with the A6 where money off is huge.
