Anybody know what other 5 year old V8 saloon / estates can be bought for 7 grand?
Money well spent i'd say, and bar yet more stealth taxation, should not fall in value any further.
I've driven many rear drive cars and a few v8's included, and have never felt so confident to push on through bends, and mine didn't have traction control. Very solidly bolted together, sublime handling.
An S6 would show it a clean pair of heals on any road, but is 6k going to buy you one from this millenium?
The 540 German Cortina, smooth as silk to drive, zero fun
Personally, I would be prepared to pay over 6 for the right car with impeccable history that hasn't been used as a shopping trolley.
