I also agree. I decided enough is enough, and that I was fed up with bearing the brunt of depreciation time and time again, so I sold my 3 year old Rover Coupe and decided that I would get something nice where someone else had picked up the depreciation, and here I am now in a 9 year old 9000 2.3 T. I can also say that it appears to be in better shape at 125K than my Rover was at 28K showing how much build quality varies from one manufacturer to another. I would be supprised if my old Rover gets anywhere near 125K Nutmegger wrote in message ... >Johannes H Andersen says... > >>I think that in the UK, too much emphasis is put on the age of the car > >They do that around here also, in New England.
