Realistically, rule of thumb, a car loses 30% of its price on sale,
then a further 10% of it's price per 10K miles per annum. At 100K miles,
or 10 years, it is essentially worthless. If you pay more than this,
that's your loss.

Well, I'm still in the market for a 10yo diesel automatic Disco.

Yes, essentially worthless, and I have the appropriate cash waiting.

£7k for a 10 y o car doesn't spell worthless to me.

If the govt can get the price under £1k, I promise I'll never drive or
park in Central London again.

Interesting that the Kings College London guide to air pollution only says
"In recent years the average level of nitrogen dioxide within London has
not fallen as quickly as predicted.".

I can't see why urea injection couldn't be made cost effective and, having
been ordered to wash the car this weekend, I am more convinced than ever
before that tyres and brakes are the source of 10 times the particulates
produced by engines. Just look at the wheels and mudguards.

Sure, but those arent anything like as fine
as what can be in the worst diesel exhaust.

My bet is that we will have chaos and confusion and that pollution won't
fall.

It did, dramatically when lead was removed from petrol.

But the sooner Mrs May bans diesels from London Brum and Leeds, the
better.
