A sad day...

Waved goodbye to the Alpina yesterday. Took a while to go though - some of the money being offered was shocking, particularly from dealers.

Sad to see it go but needs must. Glad that it went to someone who seemed as though they were going to appreciate it.

So it's back to classified surfing for me until I raise the cash for another M635 (don't mention that to the O/H)...

Hard isn't it - I can still see my SLK-350 heading down the road away from me

I take it they were trying to push you down into the teens with the trade in?

Not just dipping into the teens but wading in up to the sensitive bits... One guy couldn't understand why I wasn't tempted with his offer of £15k. Words failed me at that point!

Bloody hell. I think we should have a sticky - "Beat the pisstake trade in price"

That sounds like a good idea. Might save some of us a few quid too...
