Interesting..I've just had a look at Parkers (yes I know) and there's an interesting difference - the 2.0 (same spec as mine) is worth about 1000UKP (private good) less but the original price difference was only 200UKP. I had always assumed these figures tracked and with almost nobody getting decent sales of JTDs on eBay had assumed very depressed prices all round. Fortunately, being skint stops me changing cars at present anyway so I'm not overly bothered. -- Z Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather 'Oil' be seeing you..
