Hi
Been looking through autotrader, and with the £7000 i got to spend, i can get anything from a MY93 - MY99!!!!
what is going on, why are some people selling a MY93 for the same price as a MY99??
They all say good condition, the only thing i can think of is the mileage??
Thanks

Mileage,Mods,Import? Uk Spec? Different Modells? Trade,Private, some need the cash quick, some want to make a profit...
Some overvalue?

Probably the older stuff is dealers (or home-based dealers more like) Jacking the price up too much!
You do have to make sure you are comparing like for like - i.e UK models with UK models (or Japs with Japs), years and similar mileages.
I'm very cynical with Autotrader IMO, as the majority is swamped with (dodgy?) dealers working from home, which from previous experience has peeved me off alot. Still, handy for part-exing a XR3 with a shagged gearbox (but I did'nt tell him that!!
)
Obviously, if no miles are mentioned...it's about 80K+ (that's my usual rule)
