    Default would you buy this?

    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.

    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.

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