Not an overly useful post here but anyway .....


on the LPG L/100K I would expect 20L/100 around town on LPG and tiny bit less of fuel.

Depends on which he looks at, check for good service records, be wary of any that have replaced radiators or have had overheating problems, the autos should be good for 250 - 300K Km,

Basically you want a well maintained car that has log books and all the right bits in it and check the operation over every electrical component and get a professional PPI
