Now if you wanted a V6 auto Est in Blue
Connie SE 51 reg FSH 1 owner less than 23K miles
www.paulbailey-carsales.co.uk see vehicle listings
looks nice and guess you could negotiate the price £4,995

Bought mine from here very good on after sales Dave

isnt that a bit pricey?

when i was considering selling my 01connie with 25k, personal line plum interior, the suggestions seemed to be that 3k was a good price. do the estates always attract such a premium?

regards

Paul

I really want a black, auto, pre facelift, CDT, connoisseur SE in good condition on a 52, 03 or 53 plate.

I've been looking for ages. I'd passed over the Dudley one as it was listed as a manual and I hadn't looked at the photo's. I can't believe that after all these months, this was exactly what I have been looking for and it's right on my doorstep.

I went to have a look at it today but it's got a few too many chips and scratches for me (and for the price). Probably only cosmetic but an indication that it hasn't been loved & cherished.

... and the steering wheel colour mis-match looked really strange.

I'll keep searching.

Hi there.

Would you consider a Tourer?

Found this one:http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/msn...00942344102845









It's an 03 Connie SE and done 48k for £4995

Yes 3K is probably what you would sell privately for, but from a dealer?
+ estate + warranty? I'm sure in the current financial situation car prices are very negotiable

Cheers Derek

Not a bad price for the mileage with FSH but I'm only interested in a saloon. Thanks for looking.

I currently search regularly on:

ebay
autotrader
desperateseller &
pistonheads

Are there any other places that you would recommend?

No, it's not you, Black appears to have been very unpopular. Its a shame as the 75 can look really good with all the brightwork standing out against the black bodywork.

I've looked again at the photo's, earlier in the thread, of the black saloon in Dudley and it does look gorgeous. It will have been worth the wait once I find one.

I've now saved most of your links in my favourites and I'll keep searching.

Just a straw poll, but of the 31 auto, diesel, connoisseur, saloons currently on Autotrader, there are:

11 Silver
10 Blue
5 Gold
2 Green
2 Red
1 Grey

No surprises there with more silver & blue than anything else.

Black can look fantastic. did you ever see a member M3NDEREZ car (Carl)? He is no longer a member on here but he had a black saloon that he modified somewhat. I thought it looked brilliant.


The wheels were from an Audi R8 of all things.
