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 ;D

Get Darth down to give it a service, one oil and filter change is much the same as another no matter what the car is. He will also change the cambelt - whether it has one or not. :y :D ;D

My dad came home with one these a few years ago (saved him the trip to go & swap it back with his at silly o'clock) after chauffeuring its owner to a football match.
So after I'd sat behind the steering wheel we tried to look under the bonnet ......... we failed to find the bonnet release.  :-[ :-[ :-[

not a problem I would think for most Azures  :y :y :y owners

 ;D no pipe I'm afraid. But, I'll aim to drive with slippers soon. It does have some rather nice Bentley umbrella's in the boot that I quite fancy  ::)

Josh, could I borrow it for a weekend? I'd love to see my neighbours' faces when I park that on the drive ;D ;D ;D ;D

[edit]to add - Anyone who knows the story of my little cul-de-sac will understand that ;)[/edit]

 :D  :D  :D  :D that would be ever so funny. It'd be worth it just to see them squirm  ;)

Lee,
Love to see you try and get it on that drive of yours, and I mean the 'actual drive', not cheat and just anywhere on the front  ::).
I'll bring the camcorder, sure I'll get £250 when the rear bends the garage door as you say is it on the drive yet  ::)  ;D  ;D.

Josh,
Are you sure it's the MPG computer you’re looking at?.
I believe it was actually called a SSI gauge (Shares, Stocks, Interest).  And when they reached a certain point it would automatically phone your broker  ;)  ;D  ;D;D .

Stunning car Josh, a guy I work with traded his 1.2 corsa in for a Bentley Brooklands last year, he didn't say a word to anyone and when I came into the office and said to him "some flash harry has parked a huge Bentley on top of your corsa" he just smiled and lifted up his new "Bentley" coffee mug  ;D

My fav car ever would be the Continental GT - one day.....

 ;D certainly not me, I'd never take notice of their valuations. I didn't know you could find out a valuation had been done on the vehicle through them...I've only used them once.
