It’s true, I have 2 Italian ‘modern classics’, one only sold 60 in the uk, the other 350. Parts can be an issue, in many, many cases not available at all if you want new.
In recent times nearest I guess is alpine A110. A more expensive car and even more niche because of the price. I believe there may be 900 or so of those sold in the uk to date. Been around much longer too.
I think there were about 1300 Ferrari 458’s sold here (coupe and spider). Maybe 8-900 F8...
No-one knows what goes through the minds of Toyota PR dept!
They are leaving it a bit late putting out a big 2 page ad if they want to sell and register the remaining cars before dec 31.
It’s not like the thing on most peoples minds on dec 6 is ‘I know what I need to do in the next 3 weeks, buy...
In the latest twist by Toyota it seems they are going to push up to the July 2024 deadline afterall. Double page ad as soon as you turn cover in this months EVO magazine out today……
I have a 19 year old Alfa and a 12 year old Maserati. You want to try getting parts for those! Quite a number are already NLA! I reckon we’ll be fine with these GR86’s fairly soon, although currently it seems a bit early for reliable parts supply.
Picking up ours tomorrow, not too bothered about the plate, but as it arrived at dealer so close to 23 plate seemed sensible to wait a just a few more days. If it had come in Jan wouldn’t have waited.
It’s going sub zero again next week though, which is a nuisance, thought we’d seen the last of...
Good indication of where the dirt goes there. Seems the mudflaps on the front are maybe rendered a bit useless as the dirt just comes through the vent behind the front wheels from the wheel well and down the side of the car anyway, coating the front of the doors and hitting the rear arches!
We won’t be flipping ours, like most buyers.
For me, there’s nothing comparable as a new car purchase. Of course when you get to comparing to used cars all bets are off.
What would I buy for 30k second hand?
We’ll, I’d never buy a 2.0 turbo cayman/boxster. Competent car but not for me, plus...
That might be because it’s Christmas. You dont need to wrap your car up too!
But seriously, no point in having a drivers car if it doesn’t get driven. Buy another to go with it for an investment if you like, but other investments will probably do better….maybe.
I think dealers will sell them at 36k quite easily. Most people these days want an easy life, trade-in, finance etc. Privately would take longer as there aren’t many people handing over 30k plus in a private sale these days, traders will but want their 4-6k profit so will only give list or...
Ok, waiting for update then at derby……….
Do derby still do the ‘update’ or have later ones had it done at factory I wonder?
Either way, I guess ours will be celebrating Xmas and new year at either portbury or derby as it just went to ‘arrived at portbury’ today!
Like has been said, it’s the worst possible time to be selling a car. It’s early days yet to gauge where the value will settle, but I guess there are some flippers who need to move the cars on straight away, the ‘desperate flippers’ I’ll call them, where the timing of the first deliveries has...
In theory a dealer will buy that 35995 one since they’ve allegedly been offering people 36k. We’ll see what the first trade car goes up for soon I guess, rather than the private ones.
