manual is always going to have the edge on a bigger engined Auto, found that with my manual 2.2 vs 2.5v6 (then again was a very old v6)

Facelift plod will be a lot better spec cause Climate was standard on them.... later plod facelifts have cdx alloys...

I was looking to buy one at the auctions but was warned off by a neighbour, a meega owner and retired copper.  He told me that it is common for minor damage caused by curbs collisions etc, to be fixed privately rather than declare it.

I must admit I have heard a story thats rather off putting, if true when/if you go for one that says it has 100k chances are it will possibly have done tripple that as the police are known to leave the engine constantly running.

May not show up on the dash but I wouldn't be so keen.

Just my tuppence worth :)
