    have you not heard of built-in obsolesence?
    You make some fair points. If I were feeling less bolshie I would tone down my arguments to saying that I don't think mileage matters as much as it did in the old days.

    I don't know what the future holds, but if I don't work, hence don't commute, then I will only be doing 3000 miles a year, so in ten years time this car will have caught up with my Honda in mileage terms. If I do work then it's all academic anyway; two months labour (contracting) has paid for this car, I think that's a fair swap.

      RESALE VAKUE is bugger all
      Which of course is a good thing, if you're a buyer. (Or a neutral factor, if you're an economist neither buying nor selling who believes market prices are always rational.)
