Good deal, bad deal anyone ?

Or guess it depends on box !

For the mileage and lpg i thought it was ok plus its clean, it did look for a while and really wanted lpg so i was prepared to pay a bit more.

Depends on box and condition for the rest of car. But still £2100 is a bit on high end for PF A8 even if the box were fine without anything needing to do on it. LPG does add value if you do lot of miles. And it is a non sport.

For this kind of money you probably could have got S8.

Ranj's A8QS with LPG sold for £1.7k and I were quite surprised it reached that much but his was with higher miles and some niggles to sort. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1808283445...ht_1553wt_1396

So yours might be worth it if box turns to be OK, everything else is fine and you are happy with it.

If i had to break it, i reckon the LPG systems worth 800 quid alone. So ill know ill get some money back at leas
I would be surprised if you got over £300 for second hand LPG kit.I have been toying with idea to fit LPG to my S8 and some of the V8 kits on e-bay auctions go for £150 or even less.

S8 for 2.1K even without lpg, maybe at 250k- 300K Miles on it.

Personally i think if the gearbox is ok and i manage to get 50K miles out the car then i got a good deal.

Yeah you can buy cheap conversions and have no certificate, but your insurance company wont cover the car.

The value in the car i guess is the fact its been professionally installed with certificate.
