It may be 'only money' but I'm not allowed to spend it even if wanted to......

I can top up my allowance to give me extra choice, but only to a certain limit. The cost of a GS Auto is now beyond that limit, so I'll never have an FL2 auto !!

jeez, just seen a 08 plate RRS HSE TDV8 for £45k
that's virtually a 10k drop in 3 months...starting to look tempting  Phil

Some interesting figure on the what car website

http://www.whatcar.com/depreciation-index.aspx

interesting reading as in my FL2 SE will be worth £13,903 at 3years

so that means a nice deposit against a 2year old RRS TDV8 at £34,142

But only 1 year warranty left and £54k company car tax bill would be hell to live with  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm a great believer in less is more, A RRS is big thirsty and clumsy to park while not really sporty at all, The FL2 is just a nice size and if I wanted a faster car I would get a car not a 4x4. At work

The RRS TDV8 is fast & sporty enough for my liking

I've just looked at the latest lease rates for my TD4 GS on our list at work, the monthly price has gone up 22% since I got my car in Jan 07. Looking at the background figures it is the residuals that have caused the change.

I made the above comment some time ago and the situation has deteriorated since then. Have been in touch with the lease compnay and this current state of play.

Price of a like for like replacement of my FL2 GS is now +49% on price in Jan 07 (thats the lease price)

I've also just received valuation on the current car, 30 months old, 62k miles, current market value £11,070,

The oustanding balance exceeds the 'market value' by more than £3,300 so I wont be buying the car. Luckily I can just hand the car back without penalty.

If I was buying into a new FL2 GS lease today then the 30 month value is shown as .... £8,700 hence the shocking increase in monthly lease cost. Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

My favourite it was at the end when he says "we had it a bit sideways there" and the nervous laugh from the girlfriend 

Got a letter from T&C a few weeks back stating they were looking for some good low milage FL2's. Will pay good money they said.

So gave them a call.

How much will i get for my 08 SE 6,000mls i ask. £19.000 -£19,500 maybe a wee bit more, against a new disc3
