They'd have to give it away !

I paid $5400 for my 99 D2 v8 with 185k on it - but then it was a repairable stolen/recovered insurance write-off and ended up owing me about $7500 all up by the time it was repaired, registered, and fully back on the road.

Still a lot of car for the cash though and not had any issues with it yet after a good few months usage.

Looking at listing prices on ebay i was thinking it looked like prices of v8s have stabilised a bit since fuel costs dropped off again, certainly not noticed what looked like some of the panic sales of big v8s going very cheap that seemed to be going past a couple of months back.

I have not been to any car auctions since mid-November. The withdrawal of floor plan finance by the two major lenders should make a huge difference to the way most smaller used car dealers operate. They will have to use their own money, or overdraft if they have any collateral, or simply accept any terms being offered by any lenders still in the business. Most don't have any money, or any property they can, or are willing, to put up as security. Prices should drop at auction. I will let the forum know what I see.

One large scale Brisbane dealer of 34 years standing has already closed down. He is of retirement age and has chosen to do so after his floor plan financier pulled the pin. Decided to sell off his stock rather than purchase it using his retirement fund, I imagine.
