Sorry for your loss, good luck with the viewing!

Thanks Metrics, will update when get chance, off to Goodwood this Friday if anyone is about?

Do we know if this sold or not?

The ads are still live on AT & Sytner's own site, so I assume not yet.

Pretty sure it’s not sold, as it’s on the forecourt. Looks lovely !

Hopefully Christiand7 has spotted this and got a deposit down already!!

It’s been advertised for a while now. Perhaps I was too hasty paying full money for mine, but there we are, I really like it

[Bob]

Hard to say whether you were too hasty or not, but since there was apparent high demand, hence the price rises shortly after advertising, it was better to act quickly. Ultimately, if you are happy with the car and price paid, surely it is better to have got in there sharpish.

It's always possible that the other parties were disappointed and bought something else assuming it would be a while before another appeared one the market?

[HowieD5]

Agreed.
I think the car market may have slowed down at the moment.

Hi Christian,
did you ever get to see it - I'm toying with the idea of viewing but it is a long way for me to go and a wasted journey if there were any obvious issues that put you off and I could not live with either?

I think he may have moved abroad.
Unlikely to be many issues with the car, or if any, Sytner would sort them out. Interested to hear your thoughts if you do view
Cheers

I think it's fair to say D5's aren't selling.

Yep, #149 has appeared at BCA today after a VW dealer had offered it at £24k. CAP Clean is only £18.9k for 63-plate with 63k

Supply & demand Bob, simples. The Alpina market has always been small (to sell into), so a previous gen car powered by the black stuff in the present climate...

Factor in the price difference for an equivalent F1* BMW 30/35d and we can get an indication of what is happening.

Shame really, as the cars are absolutely superb. The anti diesel feeling is largely responsible...

[Bob]

Good point, well made.

There will be buyers out there, just depends on how quickly sellers can find them, or how long they're prepared to wait.

I'd love the opportunity to try one.
