I am in the market for a ffrr over the next few months, upgrading from a bmw 7.

Having looked round online it seems the going rate for a 2010 tdv8 with less than 60k is around £35,000 whereas the 5.0 sc in similar condition is around £30,000.

Using honest johns real world mpg of 22 for the sc and 29 for the tdv8 and my annual mileage of 9k along with the reduced finance costs of leasing a car 5k cheaper it actually looks like I might be able to justify the sc!!!

Is it true that the costs of servicing the petrol should be lower?

Also is the current mileage more important on the petrol model, I am used to people saying that diesel engines can run on and on but I don't know what would be considered high mileage for the petrol version.
