As said you may buy a lemon that needs a ton of work so factor that in too

Mileage varies tbh, never the same every month but in terms of tanks a full tank in the 180 will just get 2 weeks but when I had the L series I know I'm a 200 so would give a slight variable but that used to give me 3.5 to almost 4 weeks out of a tank. Even when on a higher mileage month the SD used to cover at least 3 weeks which was sometimes 650 miles of round town and motorway mix.
I know I'll get very little for the 180 but I'd probably sell it off the forum as not everyone outside the forum knows how cheap they can be. Got to try for the best possible result for my pocket really.
Difference on the ZS diesel is nearly £200 cheaper with possible mods declared whereas the zt is on par just cheaper tax and running "in general".
I know I need to weigh it all up properly but I always feel guilty running the V6 when I could possibly enjoy the diesel just as much with fewer running costs.
More money for the family and house.
