    It really has, just 2 years ago those cars would have commanded well over 3k. Now they can be picked up for nothing next to nothing

    I know I say it all the time, but wouldn't that be a perfect barge for lpg conversion?

    I really should research more into lpg....

    2 years ago my brother had a 01 520 m-sport,it was probably worth about 4 grand then,luckily he sold it at the right time,today you'd get one for about 1,200

    60,000 miles seems questionably low for a 12 year old Avensis.

    Yeah but suspiciously low !! If you'd clocked it would you not put it around 80/95 k .... Low but not as questionable ? Or is that what the clocker wants you to think ...

    I reckon that if the miles were indeed genuine, if you drove that car, you would know straight away. Those cars wear miles well but a 60k mile car should jump out at you. Wear and tear inside should be minimal too.

    But, I for one will never find out, as I hate those cars.

    Exactly, you should have at least some idea if the miles are correct. I know that there are clocked cars out there but there is genuine low mileage cars around as well. Rare I know but they are there.

    Very cool. For some reason I feel that there is just something very small wrong with it but that's not based on science or experience or expertise :p:o

    Interesting old bus for €395 (could probably get a bit off), if it wasn't in the other end of the country I'd buy it myself.

    I know, I paid €180 for mine in a much worse state. But at the moment I think 6 cars is plenty for me!
