It's a '98 car. Don't know the history of the car in question myself, either, but £24k seems a bit steep for a car of that vintage. Bought my V reg. Cerb for £22k from an indy. garage over 18 months ago...

But as you said in a previous thread, that buying from a dealer you will pay a 'premium'...I'd say, that car from a main dealer was about right.

Yep, 98, says so here - www.pistonheads.com/sales/detail.asp?s=6&i=34777&sc=VN90

I quite like the plate there, I think it helps cooling or maybe something useful like preventing laser speedcheck acquisition

The plate is reverting to its origional numberage, whatever that was, and being put back where it should be. Prevous owner insisted it go there for some reason They stick it on/remove it with some kind of easy-stick stuff which allows it to come off ok.

Having looked at the cars in the classifieds you're right... that is about the going price from a dealer. Scary. That's one Hell of a premium.

You're probably right. DM's about the same distance drive for both of us, not too far either away which is a bonus.

Isn't it true that the yellow ones go faster?

I was amazed at the showroom presence of the yellow cerb, it was staggering! If things dont work out re: me £buying£ this one, I'll still be after a yellow one. Fingers crossed and all that, today went well! I'll keep everyone posted
