Leave diesel engines in vans!!

haha - dream on - a 53 190 with 85k - I reckon more like 2250 selling price!

I notice Eire cars over 226g/C are going up to £1500/ year tax. How long before here I wonder?

That is for new cars only though. At the moment pre 2008 cars are taxed on the engine size so the 190 will be 821 euros/yr. Still ****** expensive though

You will need to lower the price of your car to around £3000 if you want to sell it. There are plenty of CDTi available with a lot less miles for silly money. You are living in cloud coco land if you think you will get £4500 for your ZT

Infact looking on the usual sites there doesnt seem to be a great difference in prices between the 190 and the diesel versions. Some are obviously way over priced Over £5k for 53 reg 190's and CDTi's

If the value of my car dropped to only £1000 I would still choose it over an oil burner.

Here are the cheapest 2003 190's with a nationwide search. Only a couple under £3K

Ive looked but cant find any 53 reg 190's for £2250.

Where you getting your information???

Would you really pay the price listed with the range available? Its completely a buyers market - even for the very best unless they are from trusted specialist dealers who have a following fo their cars.

Plus models with 85kish? £2250?
well this is even Trade - so you are getting to £2400 perhaps with a pile of notes in your hand. Private - someone will show you this advert and demand to pay less...

or a nice one for breaking...

At the other end of the scale, Zeb's car was very high spec and obviously incredibly genuine. And good value. If I'd wanted one, I would have almost have bought that unseen. But he still got even further discount...
