Both at £13,995.

Given I bought mine in July 08 at £13,488 this would suggest that the price of the i30 is holding up pretty well given the global economic climate

There seems to be a bit of variation in 2nd hand prices in OZ

on this site some are close to new price others are much lower (but still holding up reasonably well)

different people think differently, some think about how well things hold value, some don't.
i have a mate that just keeps his cars, he has a large property large shead, has every car just about that he has owned, never known him to trade a car in. always buys them new. but us city boys can't do that.

If you kept a car 10 years in a lot of cases you would nearly save as much buying a replacement for cash as you would get for the trade in... so you can see why people like your m8 do that...
