Yes, Parkers Used Pricing at 50,000 miles was £3,300 (I think), mine was 42,000 miles and I got it for £2650.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap on everything: fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc.

What was the dealer like?

Unorganised, slow.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent for around town. Responsive brakes. Has it's quick moments. Good on motorway, but needs to be ripped a bit to get it going (i.e. > 5000rpm). It seriously lacks torque for hills, if there are 4 people in the car, you're looking at high revs in 2nd gear for even the smallest of hills.

What's it like to park?

great for squeezing in tight parking spots.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, but I haven't had the car for long.

What's most practical about your car?

Very cheap, getting 41mpg around town.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

ehhh....the car is a bit bare-bones. It has a good heater for those extra cold days.
