Iceni Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 In April I was mooching around the local car lot and spied a Dacia estate car priced at €10,990. Last week it was still there, still clean and still the same price.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 You should have gone in and siad 'I've just noticed the Dacia on the front'Would the reply have been 'Oh yes sir, tremendously popular vehicles, they do not stay on our forecourt for very long, let's go for a test drive'.

Bob T Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 You see the same with people selling houses, despite the average house price falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Redman II Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 A fair bit of the time the cars are still owned by the people who bought the car in the first place rather than the dealer them selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Could well be but for the fact that it is washed and well presented, a lot of garages are happy to (not) sell cars on commission especially for stupid prices as it makes their own stock seem reasonable which is what they really want to shift.

This must increase its price, because its lower mileage for the year!Its getting cheaper all the time, if you really fancy the car, I should bide your time, and make him sweat a bit more. After all, the longer you leave it, the cheaper it will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
