To avoid being ripped off, check out the prices at different shops. One good guide is Stamford Singapore, which being a big listed company, they have prices clearly displayed. If you can get prices lower than theirs, you're pretty safe imho.
As for trading in, most places do take in the rims+tyres if the tyres are in very good conditions. I had only 200km on the tyres when I traded in. Not sure what is the upper limit though.
Hope these help.

Best i ever got is 440km on 55 litres and got person to vouch for me. I couldve gotten a better mileage but the temptation to rev is just to great. It can be acheived, just have to drive more on the expressway and keep a constant speed of anything between 70-90km/h.
Try to avoid traffic lights as best as you can, accelerate lightly from standstill, dont turn on aircon (this REALLY drinks) and for ventilation just wind down window abit.
I just tried it once to see how far it can go but normally i get about 340-380km roughly.

I read somewhere we have a 60-litre tank? I usually top up 51 litres or so when the light comes on. So I guess we have 8 litres or so left. Work out the distance left based on your own FC, which differs significantly depends on how you drive :p
