I don't care what car enthusiasts think or how good or bad the cars are, the market says they're worth money, so that's the end of it. I reckon you'll see that sort of money for it any day of the week. People are skint and relevant or not in the grand scheme of things, the thought of 50mpg turns peoples heads. ****** Just checked Autotrader, apart from one mega miles TDI and an SDI which is untouchable if you're not insane, your car is bottom money for the spec, age and miles.

Yep, especially now , down here at least, the smelly stuff is the same price as petrol. My old Xsara just surprised me by getting 48mpg this week even though I've been driving it "quite hard"..

I just drive on, and on after all the 1.9 TDi happily returns 70+ mpg if driven softly. |
