i have been doing a lot of thnking about the whole replacment car scenario......
Currently a 300C will set you back 30K for a Diesel, these are far more popular than the petrol models.
I borrowed one for a weekend, i was getting 35 mpg and wasn't giving the thing an easy time of it....
I have looked at secondhand prices, on the dealers forecourt they are still in the mid 20's for a year old model, hand out for another 2/3 years and they will be mid teens for a fully loaded diesel.
The petrol engines ones will plummet in value and will contiune to do so whilst petrol is as dear as it is.....mind you will it ever get cheaper? An LPG conversion would help it but i still believe that it wont stop the depreciation too much.
Personally i am going to get myself another miggy, hang out for another year and see what the prices are like then, the other consideration is road tax, the 300c is the highest banding (currently £300)
I would love one now, they have massive presence, are so well put together, offer real value for money and currently dont seem to have much being said about then in a negative way
