100,000 Miles but hopefully history and no problems.
Someone has used a V8 as a proper car, good on them.

Perhaps it's a typo and it's less.

Wouldnt worry me. Them yank V8's last for years. To be honest, id actually consider it right now if I had another 2 grand and a trade.

I'd sell my diesel, and buy this at the drop of a hat, if I could afford the insurance. Why oh why did I wait so long to pass my test, if only I had a few more driving years on my card.

I'll give him a try, simply out of curiosity. I did some searches on money supermarket and other sites and cheapest quote I could get was around £1100.

If I could get an insurance quote of around £600 - £700 and pay in installments that would be fine, but can't seem to find any reasonable insurance quotes for the 260 (although 190 wasn't that bad).

My existing CDTI insured for one year cost £700 with Bell Insurance, which was about £300 cheaper then anywhere else. Its a pitty the insurance companies, don't give much discount for age and occupation, to me it seems that unless you've got over 4 years driving experience with no claims then insurance prices don't go down much. I know this from experimenting with the quote criteria and seeing what results I got. Well its my fault for desiring such a beast I guess!!!

I'd still have to finance the car, as I don't think they'd give me the £3k+ my CDTI is worth, so I'd have to wait till a buyer comes along for my own car by which time this will be gone. Any body got £4k disposable cash that they could loan me lol!!!!

Well its a nice pipe dream, and to think the car is only £900 more then I paid for my diesel 6 month ago, makes me want it even more, but I'd probably put myself in a pretty crazy financial position to secure it before someone else snaps it up!!!! I suppose it depends how much the dealer will bend to get rid of it, but to me its priced to sell, and I don't expect it to be on sale long, if it hasn't gone already!!!
