Next car spec

Mine are the continentals too guys - I don't think I drive that fast! Have to say the wear is even on the tyres so don't think tracking is out. The rears hardly seem to wear out at all, have over 6mm left as you say. I'm going to get the fronts replaced soon and will then really be able to judge wear rate.

I see on my order for the new car that it will be fitted with Michelins................ haven't had them on a car in donkey's years

It has 19930 miles on it and I have been told between £31000 and £32500............. it is 2 years and one day old today. Cost new £48000 so the good days of low depreciation are over, especially for Coupe owners. Two dealerships valued the car and one of them seems to have a forecourt overflowing with late plate cars so maybe now, just after a registration year plate change isn't a good time to be looking for a valuation when there is a lot of stock in the dealership network

Tim, I just sold my second Evoque privately at a very good price - depreciated £1000 in 7 months and 3000 miles. I sold the first one at 1 year privately with 5000 miles for £150 less than I paid for it. Takes a bit of patience but well specced cars do sell. If you prefer a dealer I had a very sensible offer from Landrover Berkshire (talk to Charles) so they may be worth trying.
