How much do you think I'll get for a mint Toyota Starlet?

I have a 1997 Toyota Starlet 1.3-litre with only 26,000 miles on it. In mint condition. Thinking of selling it: what do you think would be a good price for it? Full service history and mileage confirmed.

How much should I expect for my Ford Mondeo?

How much trade in value should I expect for a 2007 Ford Mondeo? It is a Northern Ireland import so has a higher spec than the usual Zetec ROI models including voice control etc. It is a Zetec model with 95k miles. Only reason I'm thinking of trading it in is to go to 2008 or newer for lower road taxes.

Cheers, K

Why doesn't the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV use a CVT?

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV comes with a single reduction gear transmission, why not a CVT? Does this not mean that engine and electric motors miss out on the advantages of operating at their optimum torque or economy band?

Can you help my mechanic fix my Focus?

Hi, my mechanic has put a new (well second hand 2007) engine into my 2006 Ford Focus but it's misfiring on one of the cylinders. He tried replacing the coil, discovered that's not the issue and is now in the process of changing out various sensors, but nothing has worked so far. He says there's not a problem with the new engine and is running out of ideas. Would you have any suggestions?
