Like that but if the economy is that bad then surely there's better out there.

Apologies is this has already been posted, but this seems a bargain (high mileage, though).

Looks tidy and LPG'ed, so cheap fueling costs.

I'm quite tempted by something lpg'ed. My only concern is talk of there being different connectors. I presume in the UK we have 1 standard connector?

I wouldn't be so keen on the LPG of this young. If it was fitted prior the injection then it is quite complicated and not so reliable. They need to be serviced as well. I am not sure why LPG is not so popular here as it is in some north eastern European countries.

The weird thing with LPG is that the engine oil still looks fresh after use...

And it is 244k...

just over but an oddball car but 12 mot and 6 months tax and a 2.3 4x4 estate seems to tick a lot of boxes

mazda sport 2.3 4x4 estate

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mazda-6-/271366477564?pt...

My wife has a 2.3 Sport it's a great car - BUT the mpg is rubbish - 28 with her driving low 20s with me driving.

Adding a 4wd and an Auto and it will be both slow and sub 20mpg

Am I missing something? On the mobile eBay browser there in no mention of mileage or much else....

And I'm tempted of I can finds out more. Manual would be ideal though.

low miles for one of these and low price, whats not to like

V6 Mondeo Ghia with leather and LPG £595 !

High miles but the leather, alloys and LPG kit would surely fetch that.

Yeah, but it puts brand new cars to shame apparently.

Cheers for that, sometimes cars that were not that well received brand new make the best bargains later in life, but I think I will give this one a miss.

BTW, I messaged the seller and it had 160k miles. One of the biggest off puts on car adverts for me is not showing the mileage.

What gets me is that he's not even listening to our suggestions for better, high-resolution pictures etc, just plodding on re-posting it... Ridiculous.
