Hi srt8man
When trade in time comes around !

The British market is a funny old thing when it comes to cars second hand valuations.

The UK press are trying really hard to present the 300C as being a reckless purchase because it will depreciate really badly (like every other American car has done in the past). The other UK owners and I are hoping that by pricing the car VERY, VERY competitively in the first place, keeping supply very tight (certainly demand far outstrips supply at the moment) and by not trashing the price structure, we can look forward to having a car that has a realistic trade in price in 3-4 years time rather than one who's value has been demolished by over supply, unrealistic discounts etc. As well as having fantastic motoring in the meantime.

Very interesting rumour re the 3.5 petrol model possibly being phased out in the UK. I wonder if our resident DC expert 'Belmont' can confirm same?

Don't know about expert, but to the best of my knowledge the 3.5 will CERTAINLY continue to run into 2006 M.Y. and i havn't heard anything to indicate it's planned demise. The 3.5 V6 is there simply for the customer who hates diesel, but won't justify the V8.
