Springs coming, demand will rise.

I found the 3.0si Sports were very rare. I ended up having a saved search on the AUC site and checking it morning / afternoon / evening. As soon as a car came up that ticked the boxes it was worth a phone call. The good ones tended to sell within a day or so - I kid you not. Even though I was checking regularly it wasn't unusual for a car to already have a deposit on it by the time I called!
The more expensive or less-brilliant ones tend to stick around for a while though. Seems everyone wants a tasty 3.0si!
Just don't rush into it. Even though they were selling quickly I still stuck to my guns and would only put a deposit down after seeing & driving the car. Only way to make sure you don't end up with a 'project'.

I'm also a little baffled by these two,

Other than 1 years difference in age and the fact one has a balloon attached to it. What else makes the £2500 difference in price?

The more expensive one has Red Leather and Heated Seats and as you say a year newer all of which will make more desirable. The other just has a wind deflector.
Bottom line is I guess that car owes the dealer more money over and above the extra for age etc.
Not with you on the ballon though :?
Just got back from viewing the 57 plate up for £14500.
Car was immaculate in and out. Rather than being serviced in the ususal routine it had the following - oil service - inspection 1 - - inspection 2 (completed jan 2012). So it means next service due is an oil service in 18000 miles time. Brand new tyres, discs and pads also.
I still feel the price is a little high. I haave said i will elt them know by the end of the day.
