Vgr, I think you are partially right, but BMW sales are supposedly increasing year on year. I also read that for the first time ever, Australian new car sales may reach the 1 million mark for 2007.

I suppose it is not like I haven't had any offers (I've had 5 now, 3 reasonable, 2 unreasonable), but it is just that people don't want to pay a higher Red Book price, for want of another benchmark.

I agree that this will partially be due to economic factors, such as high interest rates and people borrowing money to the limit (a person who bought my last car re-mortgaged his house to do it!).
