Possibly but then I'll be laughing as I cruise past them filling up their fuel tank again in the m-way services!

What did your stage 3 conversion entail, if I may ask?

There's no dealer approved option like Polestar available here. People tend to just do it themselves (Racechip, BSR etc.) Despite the authorities threatening to stop and fine offenders, in real life it doesn't happen. Could be a nasty situation if you make an insurance claim though. The hp tax is reduced by 10% for each year of the car's life so you can tune up a 10 year old car for free... but it still needs to be re-certified. |

I hear they also have draconian strictly enforced speeding laws in Norway.
Looks like not a fun place to be if you like motor cars or bikes. Note to self- Do not move to Norway.

Whilst doing some used car price research for my Father this week, I checked out the used value of my car (D3 Manual R-design) vs the same car in SE Lux spec on the Parkers website and was pleasantly surprised to see that the used value of the R-Design is nearly £250.00 more than the SE Lux which has a list price of £1500 more (although actually only £800 more due to deals avaiable at the time).
So it looks as though from depreciation point of view the R-Design is between £1000 and £1500 better value than the SE Lux. The SE Premium fares better still! |

Yes this appears correct.However What Car sees it the other way round where the SE Lux is worth around £1000 more than the R Design! Would be interesting to see what Glass quote. Thing is though, I think dealers simply make up the prices as they go along when it comes to PX and retailing. What annoys me is that one generally tends to get nowhere near when trading in because the dealer says "aaahh.. its got a stone chip" , "its the wrong colour" , "hard to shift this model mate" "thats why Ive offered you lower than book". Yet if you were buying the same car from the dealer the response is more - "its only a stone chip" "popular colour this they fly off the forecourt" "could sell this model 10 times over" Regards |

Were you able to get a lower price for the SE Lux than the R-Design as even now DTD are quoting the SE Lux at £800 more than the equivalent R-Design model? |
