3k is a tad steep - nearer 2.5 would be a little more realistic ;)

3k for a yellow one is cheap.

If it was another colour then id agree with Mrs Mopp.

They're worth what ever your willing to pay, there are some reall sheds that are going for £1500, have a good look around first, don't buy the first one you see.

Was looking on Pistonheads recently. Is it my imagination or are the values increasing? Scrappage scheme?

LOL, there are a couple at work who now seem to think they're old car is worth £2k.
I tried explaining the scheme is a waste of time but they won't listen.
You could save yourself more money by just buying one a year old and selling your old car private. The leccy bought a brand new BMW 320D for £27k, me and a mate found one a year old with less than 5000 miles on the clock for £12k....both had pleasure in telling him he was a mug.

Back on topic, don't be put off by the auto box. I used to be an auto hater but since buying mine I can't fault it. Works very well with this engine.
