There are some classifieds on eBay with a surprising value still attached - £2,800 for a 1998 with 60,000 miles! Someone's even asking £5,000 for a 1998, although it only has 43,000 miles.
To be honest I'd be inclined to think that unless conditions were pretty much perfect, the fuel consumption calculation is inaccurate. My car reads 2-3% high compared to what my own calculations reckon. | Oh I have no qualms with km/L. I was just amazed at the number... 45km/L on an Original is 2.2L/100km or 107 mpg US or 128 mpg Imp. |
