Not necessarily; it can in fact suggest completely the opposite if it's been through the hands of several reputable dealers who each, on preparation, have ensured the vehicle is brought up to a high standard. Dismissing a vehicle on the basis of a number on a piece of paper would be foolish.
Strange that Pistonheads would choose to propagate a myth amongst a community of drivers that frequently change cars simply because they like trying different things.
An interesting converse argument, well put.Strange that Pistonheads would choose to propagate a myth amongst a community of drivers that frequently change cars simply because they like trying different things.
Does a golf r really do 0-62 in 4.2, thought they were nearer 5 seconds?!

I bought one about five years ago for under £50k with high 30's on the clock. I personally find them a great looking car, quite unique. And as for performance, it's quite a weapon and a fantastic GT car. Quite thirsty mind. And interior switches are fragile and expensive.
I sold after a couple of years and found myself in that rare and enviable position of the uplift paying for running a V12 Ferrari for two years.

Just sold my California to buy a dream 612. The V12 is quieter than anticipated (easily sorted with a sports exhaust). However the car is fantastic in every other respect, so much better than the newer Cali.The car feels more Ferrari where as the California felt more average, like a sporty mundane Jap car. I've loved the 612 since i first saw one in Ferrari factory way back in 2004. Finally realised my dream and loving the experience. Practical and special in one package.
