One thought on price/demand. When new, the TD6 HSE was some way below a 4.4 Vogue in terms of cost, oomphh and toys. There looks to be little difference in purchase cost now at 10 years old and so many will be tempted by the extra "value" of the top spec stuff and maybe a bit blind to the extra running costs they imply? Whatever, IMO you've got to look seriously at how yours stacks up against them and not just other TD6 HSEs.

Well mine certainly is not a low spec HSE, the previous owner might as well brought a Vogue. He then had the dvd system/screens in headrests etc, which is why I brought it! And the fact its well looked after.

I have made the mistake in the past of buying lower models and adding extras to save money and when I came to change they always give low spec price saying extras don't add value but help to sell the car

Well I took a little time out whilst I transferred it back to the original plates, got it freshly serviced, waited for the V5 to come back and stuck it on Autotrader on Friday evening for £50, 3 weeks on line, 2weeks in the magazine and 1week in Top Marques, advertised forthesame price as before.

I took my lower price in the end, but also allowed them another £100 off to replace the drivers side trim that covers the seat switches. I have fixed everything else, and at this point, its all working as it should, but I never did replace that bit of trim. As was mentioned, you could probably push that bit more nearer winter.
