Probably a bit north of that now. Bobcat E10 was 18k last time I asked.

They have come down from that now. 6mths ago they'd dropped to an advertised price of 16,750. Dare say you'd get a bit knocked off that now too.

Good to hear. Profiteering bastards! Bought mine just as it started going silly. Mine was 15k and it had just jumped from 14k 6 weeks before and was going up again..

I think if you stood in front of any dealer who has a full yard, with a wad of cash in your pocket to put down on something new you could batter them down as hard as you dare right now!!

This has got me thinking...

Does it still work without the wad of cash?

Well they will most likely want a deposit… don’t think they are offering 0% on the whole amount, but I could be mistaken?

Bet they won't even want a wad of cash. Remember anything over a certain amount now government is notified if I remember correctly

Had murder when I bought the Ranger wanted to know who and why. Told them none of their business if I wanted to blow my money on coke or anything else it is MY money.
Guy on phone didn't know what to do had to speak to supervisors I eventually relented and told them it was for a vehicle as we were handing the pub back in 1½ hrs.
C****

 

[DaveDCB]

I’m sure there was even a 5k limit on card transactions on the last car I got, remainder of balance had to be bank transfer!! Probably to save fees

When I hear all these prices for minis I think it's alot of money. Then I remembered it could be hell of a little worse. Could be buying a new car instead. Sister recently bought a Kia (sorento?) apparently new ones are £30k! What a complete and utter waste of money- will plummet like a stone- at least a digger can earn good money and still worth decent amount in 5 years time hopefully

Funny you should say that I was sat at the lights outside Kia garage on Friday and we both said how expensive the kias were!
The new EV9 is 75k

Must be a Sportage. The Sorrento's are 40k+.
Every time I look at a new car I give up and bury my head in the sand.

On a slight tangent. Walking round the airshow today and there are front line aircraft still in service that are 70 years old. Plenty at 50 years old.
A digger 2.5t and up can get to 10,000hrs if maintained, Dodgy bit of maths would equate a car averaging 30mph over 10,000 hrs to be 3 hundred thousand miles.
So why if we can manage the above feats of engineering is the scrap yard full of <10 year old cars with <50,000 miles on the clock.
It wouldnt be such a grievance paying 40k for a car to last the next 30 years.

Yeah I always think that too. When you think about it a car has a pretty easy life- rolling along smooth bits of tarmac. A digger is basically abused and pushed to it's absolute limit much of the time well small ones are. I can only think that cars are capable of big mileage but sadly fall into the hands of idiots who don't know where the dipstick. Considering economy of scale though I don't consider new cars good value for money at all.

 

[V8Druid]

more than 3k cash in or out and want the ins and outs of a duck's ar*e

they're more than that in Wales ! £34+k to replace mine, if you pay cash .. add £7k if you don't

the EV9 is Kia's answer to the RR family .. but bloody electric .. needs a nice V8 in it
