Aren't those costs normally taken out of the overall profit? Asda & Tesco don't add an admin charge to your shopping trolly when it's gone through the till.

Just looked on Motorpoint at a couple of Subarus , put the Range Rover details in as a PX expecting peanuts but quite surprised at £6,560  I paid £7,000 almost 2 years ago , PX offers are definitely good at present.

There is madness in the used car trade at the moment. :o

Did you replace her with anything, or are you waiting for prices to return to a more acceptable level?

He's still got the Signumb. Why would he possibly wish for anything more? ;)

I will replace her when a little sanity returns to the used car market. She only covered about 3000 miles each year.

I keep thinking TVR Cerbera as a practical replacement. :)

Do I need help?

It is no ordinary Signumb, Kevin.

It is a Marks and Spencer 2.8 V6 Turbo Signumb, which is extremely rare and sought after. :D

Speaking of TVR.

What could possibly go wrong with a 25 year old plastic  car, built in Blackpool, by a workforce 'high' on industrial strength solvent. :D

Build quality to rival your average amateur built Robin Hood.

Highly stressed engine designed by a couple of whippet-shaggers in a shed.

Sounds eminently sensible to me. ;D

If nothing else you'll get to meet new and interesting people. Probably wearing RAC branded fluorescent jackets   ;D

You'd best be on your guard behind the wheel though, hopefully the Jaaag's traction control and nice progressive handling hasn't made you soft  :D
