Unfortunately, "Yes"...I've been offered more than for my "Sport"...and declined it. And although the one in that ad isn't a "sport" mine has more miles (now on 27K miles). I don't think he should have too much trouble selling that.

Only put just over 2K miles on it in those 6 years.
Amusingly I actually recently chose Falken FK452's for the rear on the GTO. The reviews on PH swayed the decision to be honest. 
Although, to be fair, it had Cooper Zeon's on it before. 
Plus I'm planning to get shot soon (ie the moment it comes back from the garage), so I didn't really see the point in shelling out for expensive tyres.
I'm actually questioning my decision to get the rear steering rack sorted, but then that really would have been evil of me to sell it with that sort of issue hiding away.
In any case, I've decided to go look at these tomorrow as they are all close to each other -

and maybe this - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3354379.htm
I'll need some self control to not buy the penultimate car in that list instead of a barge.

Thought you'd gone E46 325 style......in Orient iirc.
Almost, but this came up at just the right time and from the right seller at a price that was too tempting to ignore. I'd have dithered less over the E46 if it had three pedals. In theory I'm due back in an E30 anyway and next will either be E46 or E90. anonymous said:

Love the look of the first one, if not the vendor.The 4S is starting to look very much like value.

I meant in terms of appearance. There is little or no grace about it, and not much style. The boggo XK is a much more pleasing proposition.

The original 4.2 n/a XK is still the best looking version of the current generation XK IMO.
