Volkswagen Tiguan

Spec against the market

Fair value here is fitted on mileage and year. Engine, fuel, gearbox and trim also move price — so a cheap car that differs from the fairly-priced ones may be a lesser spec rather than a find.

Where the saving may come from: engine and gearbox differ from the fairly-priced cars. Check the advert — a cheaper spec, not a mispriced car, may be what’s on offer.
