V6 4Motion

[radzoule]

Hi There

I am looking for a tip top MkIV V6 4Motion for my wife if anyone has any leads. Unfortunately she is quite specific that it has to be a 5 door Indigo Blue or dark mettalic green with a beige leather interior (preferably Recaro) ... women, honestly!

Now I know that is quite a specific ask but I thought here would be the best place to start the search! We are based in the South East.

Would consider p/x a 2001 2.0 Beetle in excellent condition Indigo Blue with 55k or a 1999 XJR in azure blue with ivory leather in excellent condition (100k but only 60k on jaguar warranty engine).

Any help much appreciated!

Ignore me if you've done all your research already, but just checking that you're aware of a couple of things to look out for on these (particularly radiator fans and ABS problems). This old thread might be useful: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

And loads of useful stuff on here: http://uk-mkivs.net/

I picked one up a few weeks back as my daily driver and am still very happy with it. Lovely smooth V6 and nice comfortable seats.

Good luck with the search.

I did 50k+ miles in 2 of them.
Be aware that while they've very comfortable and solid, they're thirsty buggers.
Admittedly I didn't hang around but mine never saw more than 29mpg on the motorway. Even my 330ci used to give 32 on the same journey.

Thanks Vee - after the XJR and my RR classic that would be a step up in the world!

I have an Indiglo Blue 5 door with beige leather Recaro interior, but I'm not selling unfortunately! Unless you'd chuck in the Chim with the XJR
