Why drive a 1.8T if you can have a 4.6 V8 for similar costs (including head gaskets).
Must be a 1.8T with auto-box if it has kick-down........they're pretty rare
Might take him upon the offer.........

Well, it wasn't his opinion of owning a V8 per se that bothered me, he's perfectly entitled to that, it was his statement
"a v8 in my opinion is always gonna sell cheaper"
which is just blindingly obviously not true, either now or ever likely to be. The point was mainly unnoticed.

It didn't go un-noticed Bernard, but as I posted above... he has his "Opinion"
and sets a very high stall by it
I quite agree with you that he is wrong , but no point in beating a dead horse as they say...
I don't think his points will have a detrimental effect on prices as he didn't have anything to back up his "opinion".. so didn't feel the need to 'respond'
I thought your initial response was appropriate but life's too short for disagreements on forums

I agree Bernard - but I couldn't be bothered to sign up to the forum to point it out. In any case he contradicts himself in his own post.
Whilst discussing a car for sale at £7200, he mentions that his car is worth about £3999, then goes on to say V8s will always be cheaper.
I'm no mathematician, but even I can see the error there. He spends far too long discussing the merits of his car over a V8 - me thinks he has cylinder envy.
