loads of adverts in the station and not many buyers. :shock:
one lad has put the price of his 2 year old TX2 and plate from 55,000 to under 40 grand. :-$
And still cant sell it.
heard a report today that a mondoe went for only £27,000.
but what about my pension.

oh yeah ive got one with a pension company. and my plate cost me nothing. :D

So why do you think this is Mr Gull - somehow I doubt it's due to news of the EU's services directive :-k

not sure really.
there are loads up for sale. maybe a couple of dozen.
uasually they are sold quickly.
but they are hanging about for ages at the mo.
so anyone buying is playing one against the other.
maybe thats causing a mini panic.
oh dear wot a shame. :D
