Good grief!! Have you been married long? Next you'll be buying a caravan or moving into one of those ECO towns biggrin

Doesn't make any sense to me stanwan; you've taken the hit depreciation wise on what sounds like a car still in mint condition so why sell? Not wanting to sound all macho but I think if it was me I'd get a valuation on the wife's shoe and handbag collection before I even entertained the idea of selling something you undoubtedly still want to keep.

Just imho of course wink

See if the dealer will take a £5k hit for a quick buy back then give the wife the £5k to either offset your carbon footprint or buy a couple of Chanel handbags - job done wink No prizes for guessing which option she chooses !
