Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2005101's not fetching the money?
Is it just me, or does there seem to be a glut of 101's on ebay that aren't selling, despite being on at what i consider to be the right money? I've seen several over the last couple of months that have been relisted a few times, and not selling. Is it now a buyers market?

Partly, also please remember that we're going into the biggest recession our economy has ever seen and some people have realised this and are reigning in. The truth is that those who live on credit cards are going to be totally f.cked within 12 months, those who have re-mortgaged their houses to "buy, buy, buy" also equally f.cked when they find out that the value isn't what they thought. Oil prices will not go down much, everything else will go up, America is imploding, China buys everything (wanna know why scrap has become profitable again?) and Iraq has neigh bankrupt all of UK-US... Give it 5 years and 101s will be double their current value for those who still have any degree of equity to buy/own them. Many, I reckon, will be scrapped or converted in the interim. I sincerely hope that someone will quote this post back to me in 5 years time and prove I was wrong...

I think your timescale is wrong, but your analysis is utterly spot on... We are heading to a point where Blair has to hand over in about 3 years (if he makes it that far) and will do anything to 'take his place in history'. If that means buying the love of the public, so be it. Likewise, Brown wants to be PM and a depression will not help his cause, so again the inevitable will be delayed using whatever means necessary. He's been doing it for a few years already and nobody seems to have noticed yet. OTOH, the housing market seems to be in a very strange state. Prices are not falling as fast as they should - it seems that people are simply not able to sell at the actual value and houses just aren't selling. I still think a complete collapse is inevitable, but I thought that a year ago.

He's been doing it quite effectivly for the past 4 or 5 years by pumping billions into the state sector to fund a massive expansion of jobs on the state purse, thus artificially skewing the labour market. It won't last. Alex |
