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?
