It had dents in the front OS wing, both OS doors, but otherwise very tidy and started /ran like a dream.

I had a strict budget of £750 - considering it was an auction, with no comeback - so the low price I was prepared to pay allowed for that risk - and for the fact it needed a cambelt so on...

It went for £1k.....

Very nice, executive model with leather, and those HDi engines are cracking .... but, it went beyond the budget....

You did the right thing sticking to your budget James given the dents & scrapes you listed. Might not bother everyone but still an issue when you come to sell on as one chip /scrape/dent on a given panel can result in said panel needing a full re paint, rub back, fill da, prime, 320, 180 discs, prime again disc back again all before paint & oven rec. Hence 3 panels can equal a financial write off.
   406's are good motors especially the Exec models but there are plenty out there to choose from & watch out for the rear wheel tracking! :y
