Anyone know of one coming up for sale? I'm keen to get back in one. Will probably sell my 4.0 as I just don't believe its half as good again! I'd also be happy to put miles on the 3.8 and use it with less of a conscience.

Thanks in advance.

I paid a lot for it, so it owes me a big chunk. Plan is to sell it to someone who thinks the car will be worth twice what is now in x months/years, then buy one back when it all returns to normality.

If that doesn't work then I'll be stuck with a 3.8, no big loss there! The 3.8 at c 95-100k is the car to have at present given the values of 4.0's!

I just want a car to use and enjoy.

Nothing goes up forever, investors are buying cars not enthusiasts. As soon as there is an inkling that the market is plateauing everyone will try and dump their cars.......you can guess the rest. It doesn't make sense, exponential rises as we are seeing now.

As for my 3.8 spec, don't mind. Prefer grey with gold, but apart from that I'm relaxed. Relaxed full stop actually.

I am not a collector and I do intend to use my 4.0, I just might use a 3.8 as well. I don't really care whether the price goes up or down. The only reason I contemplated selling my 4.0 was because I felt I could get someone to pay obscene money for it today. Then for a bit of fun, I can sit and wait for the market to turn. For me, in real world terms, there just isn't that much difference between a 4.0 and 3.8 that's all.

As for property and shares, you make a valid point. But I work in property and that is covered. I always seem to be pretty poorly with shares and I have no interest in them. I like cars and have so far made money from them, which has been a bonus but also a distraction. It makes me think more about values then ideally I'd like to.
