I agree....does look nice......mileage a tad high for the age....but looks like the owner is careful with it....i note the seat covers.....making me think he doesnt want the front seats getting worn/marked.

Make sure the lpg works fine.....if you are thinking of bidding on it  :y

Too expensive unless it's absolutely perfect. I paid less than that for mine about 18 months ago, it's not a facelift but is a much more desirable model (3.0 MV6 with manual gearbox). Mine is also SGI dual fuel and works perfectly.

Compare the price of that with similar non dual-fuel models, I doubt they'll get anywhere near that. Yes you will pay a premium for dual fuel cars at this end of the market (due to low purchase cost but high running cost -- the dual-fuel lowers running cost substantially) but not more than a few hundred quid usually, nowhere near the cost of the conversion (even DIY cost).
