Small consolation but 22K will buy you a new car (in Europe), I guess you don't want to take that route though.

22K sounds about right to me.... My car was a little bit older with 14K miles and I got a little less than that. Was the car imported from EU? I suspect main dealers don't really like them

I have a 99V with 6K on the clock. I spoke to my dealer about a possible swap for an Accord R a couple of months ago. He said that privately I should ask 21-22k although he could "only" offer me

Anthony,

Sorry to hear about your dealings with Marshall Reading...I'm not sure who you dealt with but the sales manager, Dave Bennett has been very fair with me, maybe deal with him?

Anyway, hope you sort things out.

Sanjay

p.s the car in the showroom wasn't mine..
