£370 to be precise.

I'm not ungrateful, the insignia I drove a few years ago was yucky but...

That car is £45,000 ish with the options on it. That's ten times what I would spend on a car. for that it has to be good, no, make that great. It's ok but if it was something I'd just got off the fore court for that money I would be kicking myself. Not worth it. A manual TT V6 rs, an S4 maybe, now that's a different matter.

In comparison to an S8 from £3-6k it's laughable. The whole status thing of driving a new car would have to matter to me, if that was the case i'd have a 997 carrera 2s on a private plate.
