... I really like this... might make an offer.

What do you rekon it's worth?

That looks a fairly nice motor, and it has a shin breaker  

I wonder just what the reserve is, I'd of thought around £1300-1500 would be a fair price, going by what I got for trade-in on my V reg Elite saloon...

But I know very little about prices, all I did was read Autotrader lots for 3 weeks !!! - concentrating on Elites....  

Just what are you going to do with ANOTHER miggy !!  

[JamesV6CDX]

Don't forget it's leaking oil and cutting out, also likely to be due cambelt and limited history, so I've got some good bargaining points

That Car's worth no more than £800 to me...

James you got a nice estate you just got with black leather i don't like that one much but its your choice

I was thinking the same, actually (sorry, James).  

Yes, it's a facelift and slightly newer but none of the toys and not such a nice colour IMHO. 2.5 instead of 3.0 8-). Max's ex-car ought to be nicely sorted now. What am I missing?

As a project to make a quick buck on, it's tempting, but that's all... :-/

A) I much prefer the facelift model. Better ride, better handling, less wind noise, more comfy seats...

B) Current Estate has some gout in the rear arch, likely to be expensive to fix and problematic if left.

C) Estate has developed a noisy lifter, and I'll be beggared if I'm stripping it again.

D) 2.5 is much better for me from an insurance perspective, and better on fuel..

Whilst the new Estate is a nice car, somehow I just feel more at home in the facelift.

Tunnie - do you relate?

I'm actually considering selling BOTH of the cars and having a really nice facelift LPG estate (A bit like Bob's you saw in Devon)..

But if you really want me to keep the older one......

Don't want to make any fast choices yet.... BUT you may not see me on Monday if I have to change these lifters, it's a GOOD mornings work...

facelift is a lot better in many ways... down to personal preferance really. But the facelift is more refined.

Totally. Prefacelift, whilst nice, just doesn't cut it after a facelift model

Pity they beat the facelift with the ugly stick. I've thought about getting one a few times, but I can't get by that huge front grille (maybe they were so impressed with the Scorpio they took inspiration from it) and the interior is hideous IMO -- styled with a blunt chisel.

On the other hand, I think it looks better than the pre-facelift from the back, and the colour coding of those nasty black door trims and the bumper tops is a big plus.

I keep thinking about an Irmscher front grill for mine, they look good on the facelifts in a darker colour like mine.

Over-all the facelift is a lot more modern in its design, no black and chrome strips down the doors.

To be honest, i think the pre-facelifts look worse than the facelifts, the fog lights and front bumper are too plasticaly, the facelift bumpers, although bigger are 'cleaner'

Remind me of those awful bumpers fitted to facelifted Rover 800s.

The fron tof the facelift is not pretty imho.  Rear I quite like.  Inside is non descript plastic and drab.  Interior quality is pretty poor as well.

More refined? Not really.

Its whatever you prefer really.  If age is important, obviously you choice is facelift.
