Well, perhaps I'm just used to watching the market, but forgetting general condition is gradually getting worse as cars get used - and not all get looked after properly.
I agree SDSC have some nice stock but they are dealers and have to make a profit - however modest - and although 21k miles is low and rare these days, and certainly worth a premium - how much is perhaps debatable!
Shopping around can get you a better private deal - if you keep your wits about you - assuming you have the time to look.
Guess it's horses for courses - you get what you pay for etc... Enjoy!
