is this car worth looking at?
 

dabbling with the idea of moving from my 2001 4.2.

what do members think of this car....price? spec? L version too long?
any thoughts on this car would be appreciated.
thanks raj

The problem is that it runs on something called "DIESAL". I don't know anywhere that sells that! :)

Chip pan fat also works well in them...:D

you guys taking advantage of my naivety? :rolleyes:

We wouldn't do that goldsax

Donut oil is also great for these engines and makes a nice aroma as they drive around the city centre :ROFL:

V10 wing badges??

Not that it matters as it seems to be sold

oh the jesting!!!!!
the input so far is as useful as an A8 gearbox ;)

listing on ebay ended but car available.

Looks alright for the money, if possibly a little the wrong side of Barry'd with the wheels and exhaust, red painted callipers, debadging....

I presume the mileage is intergalactic given its not mentioned?

I don't like wood rimmed steering wheels, but on the plus side they shouldn't show wear as much as a leather one!

Lwb really is huge if you intend getting into multi storey car parks or regular parking spaces. Diesel just depends if you're doing enough miles to justify it and to stop dpf failing (assuming it hasn't been gutted, which will be an mot fail sooner rather than later)

Is that a sensible enough reply :)

many thanks for the reply.
the car has done 116k miles and just had service/MOT.
the dealer has offered 2K for my immaculate 2001 153K miles 4.2Q, without the tyre kicking, which i thought was a great price.
so 5K to change.
it was the size that i thought may be an issue.
like my current D2 it will be a daily driver to work ,50 miles round trip about 18K miles a year.
just love the extra leg room in the back for the 2 teenagers.
but no free lunch. its a long car...
cheers raj

The mileage is mentioned and it is 116k, not too bad.

The front bumper is from 2008+ car (square fogs), so has it been involved in an accident or just the previous owner wanted to upgrade the looks?

Also the boot lid seems to be from S8? This with the V10 badging, exhaust tips, painted calipers etc. is she trying to be S8 replica?? :)

Being 06-plate it may or may not be in the lower tax bracket, you may want to check that.
