just had dinner with a prof of economics who informs me "greece WILL default their loan repayments.
the banks are not as vulnerable this time as per the subprime choas, but things are going to get rough."
He is predicting a double dip recession, due to the problems in the eurozone.

did lambo prices crash in 09? are you guys worried re your residuals?

This isn't really news or some big secret. The big banks have said there is just a 5% chance Greece won't default - so it is all priced in to the markets now anyway. And as you say, the banks balance sheets are stronger than before so we won't see a 2007 repeat anyway.

A car isn't an "investment" so I doubt anyone is that concerned about residuals as they are only going one way anyway - down.

Just buy one already and stop worrying!

Life's far too short to constantly worry about 'what if' all the time. I was diagnosed with Cancer a couple of years ago so bought a Diablo and life's never been so much fun! So what if you lose a bit of money, you come with nothing and go with nothing, the important thing is what you do whilst you're here!

What with you and Rocco, JFDI... :-)

Yes, because they normally tend to rise don't they? :rollseyes:

At least you bought an iPad - 70proof and Rocco would still be debating on whether or not to buy an iPad 1 when the iPad 10 is released, blaming tidal erosion, fluctuating global yoghurt prices on their indecision....

By stating "tumble" in my post I took it that most on here would read that as falling faster that usual irked

I missed out on a 05 Gallardo with 11k miles in Jan 2010 at 61k - they have been 10-15 percent higher over the past year and a half - so yes it did affect ptices. I guess we will see what happens this time roundsmile
