[quote=SpeedMog]As has been pointed out Aero's are not selling too well in the USA and so that will hit residuals. If dealers have new stock not moving them the consequences for residuals follows.
You are undoubtedly right. However, it is my understanding, from what was reported from St.Tropez, that the MMC has again invested to make the Aero US crash compatible for next year. Was there mention when the new round of crash tests will begin?
as a rule of thumb most cars are expected to loose about 40% of their value in the first two years and there is not really any reason why Morgan's are exempt from this.
I do not believe that was ever correct of Morgans until the last few years. All US Morgan trads sold in the US in the last 2-3 years are selling at a premium. Those older than that sell for a much higher premium.
The simple fact is that residuals have softened where mogs are oversold. The market is now much smaller and there are many more cars being sold to it.
However, the Aeros seem to be vulnerable for other reasons. I haven't convinced myself what the reasons are yet but this forum has been very helpful.
