    Default se or not?

    Hi
    Does anyone know which the best one is to go for? what are the main differences, i know about the leather seats etc. Theres a red 55 plate 26000 miler on ebay that looks quite interesting.
    I dont realy want to get caught out if the non se is worth a lot less??
    Any info would be greatful
    regards

    pros and cons, SE more toys but heavier

    the only thing that would swing it for me would be HID headlights, but Im vain

    condition and full history are more important.

    If you like your toys then the mg mk2 SE but getting a standard has a good level. You will not need the radio.

    Yeah about the only real differences are radio (with sat nav) no rear leccy windows and no leather seats, oh and no extras like heated seats/cruise etc... I was looking for any V8, but going from a 190+ kind of wanted to retain rear lexccy windows and stuff so went for SE.

    However, a red non SE would definatly be worth a look, just think the ZT is awesome in that colour

    To be honest, i've not found a difference between projectors and Xenons. Only the cool flick thing it does when you turn them on

    Mine is not an SE. but does have rear blind, heated leather/alcantra seats and brg carpets. + a 2din dvd satnav thing. the only thing that i thought was a bit of a downer when i looked at the car was wind up rear windows, where my non SE 180+ auto has full single touch electric. so i did not know that was not standard. However I don't sit in the back so no longer care. So I guess my view is less stuff to go wrong. You can also uprate if you want to (electric seats etc). ebay is great for this.
