So there is a slim chance I may get offered a new LCV next month. No idea on colour or price as yet to land, so unsure if the dealer will register first as a demo (likely I guess as seems the norm) . However looking at the amount on Autotrader (20+)) that have been on there for months ranging from £22 - £28k it look like interest has moved to pastures new? So wondering if anyone has more info on real values currently and should I walk away if not at list, as to avoid catching a really bad cold in a year or 2 should I want or need to change. Thanks
It probably all comes down to what its worth to you to be honest.
In the past everyone took an instant significant hit the moment the car rolled off the forecourt. At present the assumption is that you make money as it leaves the forecourt. I think around £22 - £23k you may take a hit of a couple of thousand due to recession next year, but this would what you would have expected in the past before Covid anyway.
To offset this "loss" you have to ask yourself about smiles generated. We were flagged down last Sunday as we drove past a very excited Suzuki fan who had owned an SJ and Gen3 and was overjoyed to see a Gen4

Thanks Martin, No intention of selling if I manage to obtain one, but who knows what issues the recession will bring.
As you say, every time i see one it makes me happy and smile, unlike any other car.
I’ve been offered 2 in the past week, at list price. I’ve bought one of them but a different dealer offered me a yellow car on Monday. It may still be there, and it’s at list price - £19999 plus paint £700. Admittedly a few dealers (I must of called approx 10) were saying they would register them first and add a margin but according to a source Suzuki have told them to sell at list only.
