There's a few similar ones on AT and I think it's a ridiculous amount of car for the money. What could possibly go wrong? I've not really looked at these before, but they appear to be much nicer than the German equivalents.

You can tell you're new here!
Expect all the usual replies from "nice place to wait for the AA" to "had one for 10 years and it's never missed a beat"

It's a lot of money because it was even more than that when it was new with 67k less on the clock, at that money I'd want to buy from a MD & get a years extendable warranty.

The 4.4d is a great drivetrain well suited to the car.

I realise that it is all personal taste, but the design on the leather would put me off entirely.

Looks like a flotilla of slugs sank into the leather. smile

I would buy one but that's too true so I wouldn't touch one. Not 10K but operational cost will be significant.

A bit too rich for me.

If OP is happy with the running costs sure why not. Just know what they're potentially letting themselves in for.

It's not a guaranteed nightmare, just a more likely one than some other cars.

Personally I dont like the LWB version and also that's got a few miles on it. I was at Saxtons in December last year and they have loads of very well-prepped cars.
