The way I see it, car prices in UK are numerically similar to car prices
around here, just that the commerce value is more. I guess they get
better wages then too.
At least, that's what it seemed from reading the price guides. A car that
would sell for $4000 here would sell for 4000 UKP there. (sometimes)
Altho I must admit that $4700 is way too much for a parts car. Then
again, maybe it has some historical / emotional signifigance?
