Congratulations!
I think you probably need to push the budget a tiny bit and go Quattroporte this time.

You are epic at buying cars JJ, I'm struggling to match the impact of the Pagoda, the 107, the 55, the G-Wagen... Still thinking though.

That's epic.

If you are going to do a £18k barge, do it properly!

I sold a WRX hatch 18 months ago and I really miss it , never gave me any problems and put a smile on my face every time I got in it , I loved that car but at the time £500 tax and 22mpg or less wasn't an option

The average fuel was always 22 , a mate said that's just a sticker to make you feel better

The LGT is getting remapped next week to 97ron, I'm getting fed up already with planning my whole life around being at Tesco or Shell for 99ron when getting low.

The MPG is ... similar ... to my E39 530, so I'm used to it You don't don't half get a lot more "go" for your £ with this though!
Only £260 tax as well for mine

Thoughts on this Chaps?

Strong money I'm sure, but it would be a keeper so I'd rather buy the best car I can find (within reason)

The bork has appeared in my X5, £3k in as many months so it's on borrowed time

[hornetrider]

Personally I can't get along with how the 430 looks. The 400 and 460 are much better cars. Isn't 9k well into 460 territory? Surely a better proposition even at higher miles.

Indeed, couple of years ago I went to view a car they had for sale. Lets just say I'll never be back.

What have you had done to the X5?

I managed to look after my 2005 3.0 when I lived in the US, on a shoestring.

It had its faults (had the transfer case actuator apart a few time) and dash lights but soldiered on.

Was looking at a 4.4 of similar vintage so I am interested in your story!

I read the term "cosmetic damage" and then the description went silent on it..... so, between engine lights and damage, that might need some brave pills!!!
