Well Folks , yesterday I sold my Eclipse Cross back to my supplying Dealer. You will recall that the car was recently in for a Recall for the Forward Collision Mitigation software update.
When collecting the car after this was done, I found a letter on the passenger seat making an offer to buy my car. The interest is generated by the shortage of new vehicle stock put down the the Micro Chip shortage all manufacturers are currently experiencing, and therefore dealers are looking for good cars to sell to make up the shortfall in their sales pattern.
As we have discussed at home in recent times whether we now really need 2 cars these days, it put the wheels in motion to investigate this possibility further.
To cut a long story short the Dealer upped their offer by a further £1000 pounds and yesterday we concluded the deal. The offer meant that the depreciation over the past two and a half years was minimal and really made sense to act on.
So the Mitsu has gone, and the wee Citroen C3 Picasso is now our number one car.
We will see how things work out over the coming months, and see how we get on.
As we are retired, hopefully it should be okay but will definitely miss my excellent Eclipse Cross
I have enjoyed my time on the the Forum and wish you all well for the future and will pop in now and then to see how you are all doing .
In time we will have to replace the Citroen but as Mitsubishi have decided to leave the British Market Place, unfortunately it will not be a Mitsubishi that will be the replacement.
Bye for now and All take very good care.
