Personal thoughts….nothing else..,,but highly relevant…..l think?
Car dealerships in the UK potentially make more money on after sales service (Yearly MOT’s, Services, Finance and extended warranty’s) than they do actually selling you the new car.
Are Linn (and it’s dealerships) in the same ball park?
When buying a new car you have made up your mind what extras are wanted and you know what performance you want. I see no difference with buying a record player……
It is a wonder that Linn have never produced a new better model (than the LP12) to negate all the upgradeitus. Is that a real word?. A phrase often used in the hi-fi world in the UK for people who were never satisfied (and possibly a mental illness) for constantly changing their equipment.
The answer is possibly the same….that dealerships like money thrown at an old model maybe more than selling you a ‘new one’ ????
l know personally that when running an old car there are limits to how much l would be willing to throw at the dealer to just keep it on the road, rather than trade it and buy a new better one.
The question l am posing here is….Are the two scenarios any different from each other?
Thats my Logic!
