Yup, and the short term economic outlook isnt quite as bleak as it looked in October...

Osborne's still in charge so not sure about that Adam, what with the rumours of a triple dip (thought that was an ice cream tbh)

He's a bit wet and he's called George too...you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yes, but the pertinent question is, how much of the doom and gloom is caused by the media telling us how bad it is and the population believing it and acting negatively?!

Crikey Phil, are you accusing the Govt of leaking negative data to the media during a mid-term period while it can still be pinned (correctly) on a previous Govt......only to start dripping positive data as an election looms...

You are certainly right about the tabloids, though - they lap it up then twist it into something that can be peddled in conjunction with their racism and bigotry.

Stick to the broadsheets, at least they give you a chance to formulate your own opinion

My guess? It's a sale or return and not dealer stock, with the price being dictated by the owner who still uses it .....

[Richales]

I'd say it was seasonal, and is precisely the reason I've been waiting on advertising my Roadster until the Spring. I know I'll get much more interest (and maybe more for it) in March/April than I would have in Oct/Nov.

I am pleased that you are happy David, but puzzled.

Over 3 months, and it is still advertised for sale.
The brake discs might be very rusty by now.

How has that got so many miles on when it's supposedly a 2013 car?!

[GusB]

What is the % off the listed price at Aston dealers? Much room for movement?

Generally zero.

The only wiggle you'll get is with your part-ex; either that or negotiate a free service or extra warranty.

As a recent owner, dealers whacking their prices up keeps the secondhand market a little more in the favour of current owners /selfishmeIknow

(Reply was to, 'The brake discs might be very rusty by now.')

Yes, but those 280 miles were done back in October, or November 2012.
Since then, the advert mileage indicates that the car has not been driven.

A stab of the brake pedal may clear surface rust, but November, December and January, were good months for corrosion on idle cars (presumably this one is displayed outside).
