Thinking of buying a 2009 SV8, am I an idiot?

I would like something a bit different to the Insignia I currently have. I did think I had a budget of about 16k but life means that's now about 11k. It needs to be petrol as I do lots of short trips and virtually no long ones. Am I buying a bag of trouble with such a big engined car? I've checked the mots and it's never failed and had no advisories. It drives like magic (but it would) and it seems it'll go for close to 11k. Is that about right from a main dealer at 56k miles? Do I need to just buy a Scoda?

Hi No, I'm thinking of an XF SV8 2009. It's a 420bhp supercharged @ £11k and 55000 mile and I'd love it but not sure if its a crazy purchase.
