Exactly, who would have thought a povety XY would be worth any thing? but it is and not just as a base for a GT mock up, even XA, XB & XC are startign to comand resonable money.

This is recycleing, and is very good for the enviroment, remember that once the car is produced a large protion of its emmisions have already been emitted, to replace it with a new one starts the emissions cycle all over again.
As part of my package i get a new car every 3 years, I generaly purchase this car out at the end of its term and it becomes the family gorcery getter for another 3 before it gets sold off as a well maintinaed 6yo vehicle, as this car will be over 6 years old it will be on its dwon hill side of its 10year life cycle the value of this car will effectively drop as people will want used cars in the 3 - 5 year catagory so this also means the car I buy off my cvompany will now be more expencive so I loose twice
either way as the papers wernt full of it today I suspect it was simply put in as filler yeasterday as most of the information they referenced was quite old
