2MV6's, which do I keep?
« on: 15 November 2006, 11:02:41 »
Hi all, newbie here.

Brought an ex plod 3.0 MV6 estate about 7 weeks ago and having now driven over 2000 miles in it I can honestly say its the best value for money car that I have had.

Having raved about it to my best mate we agreed that he would come with me to buy himself a car as he is curently ownly using his van or his misses little VW polo. He wanted a manual saloon and had a set budget. However on the night he coudnt make it so I went along on my own. Unfortunately there were no saloons but a very clean looking 3.2 MV6 estate on a y plate with 79k. so yep your guessed it, I bought it.

Well he doesnt want it so I am going to have to sell it. Or do I keep it and sell my 3.0.

The pros are the 3.0 I have taxed, insured and have run for over 2000 miles, the cons are that it has a very slight oil leak that I think is from the cam cover gaskets and has done 94k and although very good condition has a few slight marks.

The 3.2, I have only driven about 80 miles but drives like new, the condition is almost A1 (outside!)it has less miles and an extra 200cc!!, the cons are that I would have to, insure it and tax etc.

So waht do you think, best just to keep what I've got and sell the 3.2??

You'll be transferring the insurance over, so that shouldn't be an issue.....

3.2 is simpler (no EGR or air injection).

If you ever want to do any tuning, i has a steel crank so is stronger.

out of interest how much did you pay for both your meggas at Auction?? I'd really like to know much the 3.2 was....

Its too early but next year around June time i will be after a megga, and a ex plod one is very tempting to blast down the german autobarns!  :)

yeh I saw it. I dont think he will have been to happy with that price. His cars are also ex met police and I bookmarked his sales over the last 7 weeks since I bought my 3.0 and he has sold 4 in that time all 2001 cars on y plates. He sold a 3.0 with 98k for £2250 (this was the same reg as mine just 1 number different!) a 3.2 with 76k for £2050 another 3.0 with 92k for £1750 and the last 3.2 for only £1600.

So basically he sold the highest mileage 3.0 for the most money and the lowest milegae 3.2 for the least!!!, but I guess thats ebay for you.
