You can pick up a 1999 Arnage for £19,000ish if you look in the right places. This particular vehicle has covered 15,000 miles and will be priced between £40,000 to £50,000...there's already been some interest. Being LHD it appeals to the ex pat market and those fortunate enough to have a holiday villa in France or the continent etc.
With a new price of I'm guessing around £120-130 thousand that a serious tumble in value although I suppose if you can afford to buy it in the first place one wouldn't worry

« on: 20 January 2011, 18:27:44 »
make sure the car is in gear and release the handbrake,take a hammer and give the rear brake backplate a good couple of clouts being careful not to hit wheel cylinder or brake pipes,once its released you need to strip and clean/replace parts as required

I had a bmw 535d in yesterday,6 speed auto and 276 bhp plus enough torque to slow the earths rotation ,one very quick diesel. lovely autobox,although why it needs 6 gears is beyond me

QuoteIts not made of chocolate and keeps breaking when you put some decent power through itQuoteI've got an AR35 box here and your more than welcome to take a spin in my chipped diesel but it has a proper gearbox in it
not sure its a proper gearbox if it needs an extra pedal to make it work
sad but true
