    Smile For Sale..........mmmmmm - but not sure

    Just picked up a lovely 2004 MK2 260 SE V8 saloon in Typhoon Monogram Chromactive with Black Leather. it has the X powers, low miles and has the 4 options - HK HiFi, PFM, EMS and ERSB.

    i bought it to for stock to sell on as usual but having just driven it 200 miles it is so nice and the colour is fantastic i am now possibley going to keep it to use as a weekend car !!

    decisions decisions !!!!

    HK HiFi probably refers to the lump of plastic in the boot that hangs from the rear shelf and reduces load space.
    EMS at a guess is Electric Memory Seat.
    ERBS would be Electric Rear Sun-blind.
    PFM....... ain't got a clue

    Sorry, my mistake, i thought most people knew what the 4 main factory options were, yes its those 4 options including the lump of plastic hanging............

    like the decription, new one on me, and great sense of humour.

    got so many smiles, waves and thumbs up drIving down the M1, even when stuck on the M25 pm traffic its more pleasant to be in a 260 with a V8 growl

    regards to all

    The thread started with a car for sale and has slightly deviated since then.

    £9,000 is a fair amount of money and without knowing the initial price it's difficult to say whether it's overpriced or not.
    Taken into account it comes with 12 months warranty and keeping the usual markup in mind the margin may not be as big as people think.
    Also the sale is not a desperate one and the price may reflect that as well.
    It is a nice low mileage example in a monogram colour. The colour may not be to everyones liking but was a paid option over regular colours.

    I can't comment on the servicing abilities from James but can't see how this is relevant with regards to the mentioned sale, nor is the ability to fit a super charger.

    As Elite has sold more than their fair share of 260's I think it's a correct to claim they are experts in this area (used 260's) whereas other dealers may only come across the car once or twice.

    It would be nice to keep the thread on track and comment on the car rather than getting personal with the seller in question
