<Snip> Humm, Agree with what's been said but its an image thing too, In my neck of the woods (N.E.Scotland)its all to do with perceptions for instance volvo estates - county, 2 dogs, green wellies, horsey set BMW s all - Yuppies, wide boys, drug dealers, executives. Saabs - wacky proffessors, bohiemians, artists, RSPCA members Fiats - rust Alfas - more rust Lancias - even more rust 4 x 4 - School runs, insecurity complexes, penis envy. well I'm an engineer (not too sad) and have and or had the above volvo - great for lugging building supplies finally died after hauling 2 ton of bricks in it BMW 2002 great little screamer with very predictable tail happy handling. restoring one now. Saabs got two one the good lady loves because she goes camping in it, no need for a tent! reliable the other my every day car Have a Lancia Delta Intergrale which I stage rally. Big old Landcruiser for a tow barge, rally spares and people hauler. Yes cars depriciate at different rates around the country (UK) a 2nd hand Saab is usually more expensive in Edinburgh that Aberdeen. but its also a new price thing which is big news here as well. At the moment in the UK if you don't want the value of your car to plummet faster than a Richard Branson Ballooning flight either buy the best 2nd hand car you can (any make)or if you want a new car wait about 12 months or buy in Europe Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
