Short term fling....

[simonsparrow]

I'm looking into the idea of buying a Cerbera, but with a catch: I'll be returning to New Zealand in about 6 months time.

So, I'm looking at a relatively short period of ownership.

I could buy privately and then sell in the autumn, which is one option, but carries a few obvious risks (not being able to sell when I need too).

My question is, does anyone know of a dealer who will agree a 'buy-back' value up front? I would expect this to cost a little more, but could be better from a peace of mind point of view.

Any other options/ideas would be useful.

Thanks!

Thought there might be a gap between what I considered 'reasonable' and dealers...

What price was that £7k drop on?

Taking it back to NZ is a great idea, but they've recently changed the law and now only cars that meet EU frontal impact standards can be brought it. Unless over 20 years old, so my 3000M would be OK. (see www.ltsa.gov.nz if interested...the article in sprint mentions this towards the end as well) I'm making some enquiries, but don't hold out much hope.

Would also wonder about the wisdom of having the only AJP engine to service in the country.....
