Hi All
The other day I was approached by a female in her early thirtys who enquired "is that your car?......Very nice! She went on.... I had one of those ...a black one. I took it back because every other one I saw was being driven by old men. I traded it in for a Mini.... Lost ?5K on the trade in. The salesman said it was the first time anyone had brought one back for that reason" I was probably as speechless as the salesman. Is it a female thing as the logic of this story escapes me..... or are we really all old men?

This young lady approached me admired my car and then proceeded to tell me she had owned a black E60 which she traded in for a Mini because of the reasons I explained above ie; every time she saw another E60 on the road it was being driven by "old" men. I will show her your avtar which proves her wrong
Hope this clears it up!

The reason that the e60 is driven by older men (IN THE UK) - is that it costs a bit to run - and demographically older men are the main group that can afford it.
Younger chaps and ladies tend to go for smaller cars - hot hatches if they can afford them - cause they have less baggage and children to cart about.
She sounds weird to me - was she chatting you up or telling you that you were getting old ?
A volvo V70 - is an old mans car (in fact all volvo's really) - as is the mercedes e-class.
But not the e60.

Why would you be desperate to trade in a car to take a 5K bath on it for a Mini of all cars. Why not trade it in for a 3?
