I revisited the school i used to go to a few days ago, and noticed many of the nice cars driven by the rich parents are no longer there... that's quite upsetting really :(

the questions are:

1. do you think our G society will be affected by this?
2. would that be more and more relatively cheap Gs for sale in the near future?

Re: bad economy

Looking at the used car market and especialy 4x4's, G wagens dont seem to have been hit as hard as others. I think the market is much more insuler and there are a lot more private sales. The dealers that sell G's seem very laid back, with one that i spoke to having a sale or return car in stock for eighteen months. There are also no guides as to the values, ie Glass's guide and Cap guide don't book G wagens.When you think that you can get a 03 reg ML 270 with full spec for around 8,000 pounds compared to a fifteen year old G for arond the same price. But the argument would be how much will the ML be worth in another ten years.

I found when I was at boarding school, in hard times, most parents tended to bring out the 'nannies' car, as to not offend those who were finding it tough

1. I think this one will affect ALL people
2. See the posts above -
