I was thinking about it today because I saw two 460 SE on drives a white 460 while I was walking and grey 440.

Catching up the 300s mate, sadly.

The 480 still has a bit of a cult following, but sadly the 440/460 not so much.

Just look how quiet the 400 section is here, there's not much more action than 300. Although the 300 section has picked up a little while V3M has been down!

Some 400s are pretty rare now, I've got apparently the last 460 CD Turbo auto left in the UK!

I've only seen two 480s, a blue one I see almost every week and a dark red one I've seen twice. The one 460 SE had a for sale sign on it for a few weeks but that's gone and the car is still there, they probably couldn't sell it.

Pretty good song there Anadinolin, you say you like bass what about these

I too love wubs and D'n'B my favourite style would have to be melodic dubstep though

The 400 series is a lot more common over here. As much as the 7/9 series. 300 & 200 are on par and 850s are in the middle.

According to the "how many left" website there were 2786 440's registered/taxed in the UK at the end of last year. Not sure about the other 400 series models but the stats are there if anyone wants to look. Hope this helps. Dave

I see a few 400's around in my area, not least a lovely 460 very near me with great black 5 spoke alloys.

I also see several "standard" 440's trundling around......But then I do live in Eastbourne, which was, lets be honest, one of the main sales points for the 440's!!! (and 340's). Of course, these days the car of choice for the population of Eastbourne is the Honda Jazz........gawd save us!

400 series owners should hold on to them for a few more years then, they will be worth a bit more in a few years.
