would you buy this?

[damienp]

Hi fellas. I've been looking at buying a v8 for a while. My preference would be the tourer, but because they so rarely become available (and are much more expensive to buy), i've relented and decided to get the saloon instead.
This one has been on sale for a few weeks, so i wonder if anyone has any knowledge on it. All opinions are appreciated, as would comments on servicing v8's because i can't for the life of me find any info on the subject. Is it a closely guarded secret or what? ;)
Many thanks.

If you get me the vin/reg Damien I'll have a look. If you need to pm me use the Two-Sixties. I only have 5 pm's on Org which makes it difficult to keep the 'full' message occurring. :D

I had the exact same problem as you - wanted a tourer but couldn't find the right one.

This car is pretty much the exact same spec (including colour), mileage and price I paid for mine 3 months ago - so I'd buy it the history looks good and it's as described.

Front looks like MK1, rear looks MK2. So maybe early 200s VIN number. #217 was the same.

#217 has facelifted rear and front.:)

[pider100]

Maybe it was 216 I was looking at. I stand corrected. It was a while back, and I've slept since then!!

Definitely MKI front and rear bumpers

Here it is in fact, from back in 2008. Actually says it was the first facelift model, but I believe that's a matter for dispute. That'll be the red one

I think it all depends on how you define the Facelifted models. Old 206 is definitely facelifted front and rear and may have been the first to undergo that treatment (not sure - someone will correct me!) but still has MkI rear springs for example and no doubt many other MkI features that will have been revised for the final facelifted models.

[black olive]

I define the facelifted models as those being produced on the line as a mark 2 and not a mark 1 with mark 2 bits added, either for development or press pusposes, easy really

Thanks for all your replies fellas. I've sent a pm to dazza about his.

I'd be tempted top contact him via his advert, just in case he's not picking up PMs from here... unless he already has of course... in which case I'm an arse and will go away (waits patiently for Mr Warner to confirm that I'm an arse anyway :ash)

[RedzedV8]

#216 is MK2 front & rear too.

A Lycra covered one at that. If confirmation is needed.
