Default Bargain - why so cheap?

No, not another eBay scam or a Pistonheads clone. Check this out - 2008 car.


http://www.dovehousecars.com/stock/d...?VehicleID=586

Is this so cheap because:

a) It's an import? (I don't know that it is)
b) It's yellow?
or
c) The market says that's what it's worth?

I've been looking around and thinking of another S as the fuel bills on my R32 are getting silly. If this was Berlina with Black & Red interior I'd be there like a shot!

How much does the colour affect prices, do you think?

It will be an EU import... but if you look at Bob Gerard's website you can see new cars for 21-23K.
Market is a bit depressed as well.

Actually you can get a new new car MY08 with new style interior and wheels for a few hundred more and a more subdued colour.

It was in another post yesterday and they seemed to have a few silvers, moorocks and blues in stock.

Euro imports probably but if they are full UK spec then your fine. buy a UK handbook, servicebook and folder and you'll never know the difference. The only thing is that if they were imported for stock then the garage will probably be the first keeper.
