350Z for 20k is pretty good. Shame i can't afford a new car right now and even if I could it wouldn't be one for 20k

Wonder how much new Fiesta's are?

some good buys in 4x4's especially petrol versions

i've had a diesel 4x4 and would never bother again

despite the 'claims' that Range Rover sales are dropping - i asked a dealer recently for delivery time on a new one - 3 months

and discount - very, very little!- maybe a few 'extras' thrown in!

Why wouldn't you have another diesel? Which one did you have?
I'm surprised Range Rover dealers aren't offering deals, have they not seen what's happening to the price of second-hand ones?!

had diesels

a) landrover - few years ago

b) Range rover - few years ago

c) Jeep Cherokee - recently

also driven diesel 4x4 from most manufacturers - they are ok off road but on road performance leaves a lot to be desired - though i recently drove a new RR diesel and that was fine but at the price i'd prefer the supercharged petrol

secondhand RR prices may be falling but i asked the main dealer for a quote on a new petrol one (you'd think that would be less desirable?) and as i said minimal discount and minimum 3 months delivery

bet you'll not see discount on the Cayenne Turbo either?

and try and find a Jeep SRT8? - amazing value and quickest 4x4 in the world (faster than Cayenne Turbo!!)
