• its not so much the car but the spec, mileage and the condition for a 10 year old car, could of bought similar over here but would have done 100k more, like a rusty boat underneath and probably diesel. This looks like new including the underneath

  • Looks like a great deal, well done to you. I was just pointing out that the 2nd hand car market in this country seems to now broken (like lots of other areas of the economy)

  • I think saying the market is broken in relation to 2nd hand cars is a bit of a stretch.

    When I was younger, 2nd hand cars were a lot more expensive. It's only the comparatively recent proliferation of dirt cheap finance that has tanked the 2nd hand market.

    I may be biased, but when we were looking for a car in 2018, it seemed as though >£8k you really had to start asking yourself why you'd roll the dice on a reasonable mileage newish 2nd car, when you could just buy a new car with a real warranty.

    That is the part of the market that is broken. Not, in historical term, this relatively small bump in 2nd hand car prices.
