A phone call from my son who is in motor trade with main dealer franchise (not LR)
" your car has gone UP by £450 in March guides" March 08 GS Auto 25000mls

Funny thing was when I spoke with one dealer in January about new car for 1st march and he made a very poor offer the excuse was "but remember your car will suffer 2 Drops in book by March"

Needless to say new car not coming from this dealer. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

Who are you getting it from, the new one that is. Might be worth me contacting them.

Parks of Ayr.They have had next to nothing 2 hand ( except RRSport) for some time. I was contacting dealers elsewhere looking for 59 GS or SE, a few silly offers and 1 dealer took my £1000 against 59 XS then phoned 2 days later to cancel. Deposit quickly returned. It was Farnells.
Back to drawing board and local dealer best at end of day. All FL2's (3) Gone

Great news on value rises - James - do you want to comment????  There's always a way forward!

2008 Freelander Td4 GS - Stornoway Grey - Now Gone - Sob
2011 Freelander Td4 GS 150 - Rimini Red - in its place - Better x far x 4!!

Thanks, might give them a bell and see whats what.

Sorry guys just noticed this post. Newer vehicles have gone up, but older vehicles have gone down.

EG:

TD4 GS Man between -£325 and +£425
TD4 XS Man between -£350 and +£450
TD4 SE Auto between -£375 and +£500
TD4 HSE Auto between -£425 and +£600

This menas that if you have something in the middle (07/57/08 ) ish then it will have remained static.

Hope this helps?

I'm only passing the information on as DrownedRat asked me to comment

Ask your local dealer to show you their Glass's Guide!

I wouldn't win! Usually the column on the right is spot on and shows you by how much the vehicle has increased and decreased. This month, although it shows a minus figure they have gone up.

There you are James, plus 450, I'll match, we'll compromise and everyone is happy! Solution!

James - shouldn't you be polishing, filling up cars ready for the rush this weekend rather than lurking on the forum or tipexing out CAP valuations?!!

Was down the local Citroen dealers with wifes C3 this morning and it was like a morgue - hope you are having more success  There's always a way forward!
