Post by: Danny on 08 January 2008, 20:47:42: thanks for the comments! :D

its not perfect, but runs beautifully, has a few scratches but no dents, insurance want to rob me to insure as second car, but thanks to the new girlie in my life, i have a drive way to store my car off road, gonna have to sell the green one soon and i'm gutted cos its runing perfectly, but i didnt expect to find an elite so close so soon, didnt actually wanna pay that much for it but he was adamant not to go below 2,700 (he paid 5,600 in 08/06), but i told him the bad news about the depreciation and that i wasnt prepared to go higher, he knows i had quite a genuine want for this car, and he saw how immaculately clean the inside of mine was! so 2,500 is ok.. needs a bloody good valet tho, his kids are messier than dogs! I wasnt used to rear electric windows and kept putting the back one down by accident :D

mine will appear in the sale section on here soon but i think members will upset me with their offers ;D i need to retain my plate, and remove the irmscher grille first, but i'll be wanting extra for the elite alloys it has!

Post by: VX1 on 11 January 2008, 21:27:35: I did notice one thing though danny, the mileage its not in line is it? Or is it just me? One other point what extra tax for having a 3.0ltr? or is it just for vehicles that were registared on or after March 2001? Apart from that nice looking car 8-)

I noticed the mileage on the picture too but it looked spot on when i was in the car, so i'm not too worried, i have its MOTs aswell and the service history, the tax went up for vehicles registered 03/2001 onwards, which this one will be as its Y reg'd, one of the last 3.0s

Post by: amigov6 on 12 January 2008, 16:56:46: Peachy Mig. Hope you're gonna valet it yourself. It's hard work but really rewarding. Love doing mine. Give me an afternoon with that Elite & you would'nt recognize it! 8-)

its on tomorrow's list of things to do, along with putting my irmscher grille and clear repeaters on it, along with swapping the elite alloys over with the elite ones on my GLS which are in far better condition! :y
