"Cars are cheaper in England"--Shouty?

Who cares what Shouty says? I just want to know if it is true. I do not have any idea what sites are most popular over there, but the first one that came up for me is Motors.co.uk.

What do I know? Hondas, like this 1998 Civics!

Today I learned that England is an alternate reality.
99,000 miles(?!), 31 MPG, and £850. Opera informs me that is $1,107.55 in real money. I do not have any idea how much that is out the door, although it says there is a £265 Road Tax ($345.29).

Someone remind me again that we need to go metric because civilized countries did that year ago? Does it make sense that I am complaining about dang foreigners using the measurements that I understand the best in their own country?

What do I know about Imperial miles? A bit over 100,000 U.S. miles and a bit less than 31 MPG. I do not mind going back and forth between U.S. Imperial and metric, U.S. Imperial and U.K. Imperial?

Anyway, I found two 1999 Civics for sale in the Phoenix area, but for $1,500, with 200,000 miles, and like the British one, also autotragics.

Not quite as pretty, though.

So, I still do not know how much that hatchback would cost out the door, but prettier, with a little over half the miles, for around the same price, but from a dealership?

Shouty claims that Kelley and N.A.D.A. are scams, due to who owns them.

What is the real reason?
