A collegue has one of similar vintage - J reg. The ECU warning light is on, but it still plods on and has never let her down. Her garage say keep running it until it dies as it will cost more to fix the problem - they told her this at least 5 years ago!

Is it a Jap 'grey' import (square back number plate, 'stuck on' rear fog light etc)? If so, not worth so much, also, if its a 4 wheel steer model, make sure it works, along with the cool digital dash! Great cars these, and the 2 litre unit is decent enough, and non VTEC so insurance not so dear as the 2.2.

£700 about right I suppose.
