[...] True enough. It reinforces my inclination to wait for new prices to fall, so as to be riding the wave, not the trough. (Does that metaphor make sense? It did when I wrote it.) But I tend to hang onto my cars, so that may mask the damage. > WRT Euro-imports - also bear in mind that whether or not you > personally worry about insurance problems, warranty problems > and originality - plenty of other people out there will worry. > This means that when the time comes to trade-in a Euro-import a > few years down the line, you'll almost certainly get a lower > price, possible very much lower. Fair point. I had not considered that. The dealers very likely will be in a mood to bear a grudge against an import, for as long as it exists. (Perhaps I could sell it into another LHD country, far away, like *.au or *.nz, where it would be "clean"? <g>) -- Andrew Stephenson
