I guess you're saying that those are all wrong calculations?

Strange, as I'm 100% sure I identified all the cars correctly. I'm also sure I can do elementary maths...

PS: I tried to send you a PM, but your inbox is full.

These are indeed the wrong answers that were already tried.
I just recalculated my sum and I have my same result.
So I suppose you don't know how elementary maths works...or you misidentified 1 or more cars...
I cleaned up my inbox.

Ok, I guess I know which car i should've counted in a different way. In this case the Mercedes-Benz A-Klasse = -1

The cars are:
1. Peugeot 207
2. Mercedes-Benz A-Klasse
3. Morgan Plus Four Plus
4. Caterham 21
5. Fiat 500
6. Fiat Sedici
7. Audi quattro
8. DKW 3=6
9. BMW X6
10. Fiat Punto
11. Renault 5
12. Saab 93
13. Fiat X1/9
14. Maserati 228

207a + 4 + 21 + 500 + 16 + 4 x 3 = 6 x 6.5 + 93 x 1 / 9 + 228
207a + 553 = 348
207a = -207
a = -1
q.e.d. :)

No it is not!
But now that you revealed all your answers (including the error(s)) you must probably move fast before someone else comes up with the correct result...

I give up, i don't have time. Someone can get this point, not a problem for me.

Aa, what the heck.

207a + 4 + 21 + 500 + 16 + 4 x 3 = 6 x 6.5 + 93 x 1 / 9 + 228
207a + 553 = 348
207a = -205
a = -205/207

Looks much less pleasant than -1.

So, are the cars wrongly identified? Or is it a matter of calculations?

Cars wrongly identified and that may or may not affect the calculations.

Here's my calculation:

1: Peugeot 206 plus (206+)
2: Mercedes A
3: Morgan plus four plus (+4+)
4: Caterham 21
5: Fiat Trepiuno (3+1)
6: Fiat Sedici (16)
7: Audi Quattro (4)
8: DKW 3=6
9: BMW x6
10: Fiat Punto (.)
11: Renault 5
12: Saab 9-3
13: Fiat x1/9
14: Maserati 228

method 1 (pemdas):
206+A+4+21+3+1+16+4x3 = 6x6.5+9-3x1/9+228
206+A+4+21+3+1+16+12  = 39   +9-0,333+228
263+A                 = 275.667
A = 275.667-263
A = 12.667

method 2:
(206+A+4+21+3+1+16+4)x3 = (6x6.5+9-3)x1/9+228
(255+A)x3               = 233
255+A                   = 233/3
A = 233/3 - 255
A = -177,333

A = 85

A recycled Peugeot 206.
Same story as the Clio Story, Punto Classic or Seat Exeo: old models, again on the market to keep price down.
