Does Autodesk still sell Autocad 2013. I am thinking about doing cad work at home (Uk).
Thanks in advance
I would prefer a perpetual license, also I thought Autocad 2012 / 2013 would be cheaper than 2015.
Even when I've emailed a information request from Autodesk or other places, they dont reply if Autocad 2012 / 2013 is available. Maybe they dont want to deal with a single home user or previous Autocad versions besides Autocad 2015.

Software is not sold like used cars or stock overruns.

They'd much rather have you go with their latest software. To offer a discount on the older version(s) would encourage people to go with an older version. And since it's software, it's not like they have inventory they need to clear out.
I like the way JDMather put it -- it's not like selling used cars or stock overruns.

2015 is still a perpeptual use license. If you want to spend less, you need to look at alternatives. AcadLT is one option with a great deal of compatability with full Acad but little customization. BricsCAD or Ares Commander are also options -- not quite as compoatible, but do support API and programmatic customization to a much greater extent than LT.
Unless a reseller has a 2013 box sitting on the shelf that's never been sold or registered, you're not going to find 2013 for sale.
<<well, if you're in the EU and someone with 2013 is getting out of the business, you could buy their seat....>>
