    Anyone know is there are any dealers up the North taking Rep. registered cars as a trade in? I know alot of them are advertising down here now and saying that they will register the cars etc.. but will they take our trade-ins?

    With Sterling at 85p to a Euro this morning I'd any Northern garage would be mad not to but I'd say they would be more supprised to see you coming. ;) There is no value left up north....there was but its over...

    I'm fairly sure most of them will, but as you know it won't be at any similar price that you would get down here.

    They all end up getting traded back down here again.

    True, northern dealer prices are over inflated compared to the UK because they know people are more willing drive up to buy rather than take a ferry over.

    I've seen one 3.2 in this country, and I hope I don't see another.
