He has lowered the price though but still not enough, how much do you think its worth?

It is really nice, but £400+ tax per year, very high fuel prices, be lucky to get £3k for it.
Just sold wife's volvo T4 200bhp, it has the same problem, we got £2200.00 for it.
The bottom has really fallen out of high tax, low mpg cars.

Just my useless opinion.

It is ok for us pre 2001 owners as long as we keep our mileage lowish.
However I recently read the government intend to go back even further with higher taxes for older cars, I am not impressed and hope it does not come off  >:(

Agreed it is worth a lot more than he will actually get for it, that said in a fair country it is probably worth the £5k, but in this country at this time he does not stand a chance, and even if the government relent on this the damage is already done, people like myself have already lost money.

Hehe! I don't think the picture with the 20.2 MPG fuel consumption is doing it any favours!!!

I think if I had a V6, i'd have to turn the fuel computer off!!!  ;D

Still a lovely motor, you could buy it and move to Kuwait perhaps!?!
