You can get an Autobiography at a similar price to that SE.
SE's need to be cheap like this : https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ad...amp;page=1

That's good value at £20k cheaper compared to a basic spec 18MY SE in my local dealers showroom at £95k

Yes, but the one you posted is a V6, which are around £10k cheaper in any event  2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Agreed, Andy. There are new MY17 AB’s being offered at £85k, I was just making a like-for-like comparison.

When are you picking your new one up? What colour combo did you go for? MY23 D350 HSE

I'm collecting next Saturday 17th.

I've gone all 'blingy' this time with triple black and black pack with turbine wheels. Going to be a nightmare to keep clean but when they are they look quite cool and I need some 'coolness' around me at my age
What I will really miss from my current car is the head up display which is a fantastic benefit to daily driving. Going to be a chore having to look at the speedo all the time when I need to check. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Excellent Andy But we need photos!

Just had another look on AT and there are some absolute MY17 bargains - a new 4.4 VSE at £75k and a new 4.4 AB at £85k

Andy, did you eventually pick it up and where are the photo’s?  MY23 D350 HSE

That’s exactly what I was thinking ...................

Sorry guys it's been filthy since the day I collected it but here is one of collection day.



500 miles and NO electronic issues at all, amazing
Spec is: Black pack, 22" 707 alloys, adaptive lights, sliding roof, privacy otherwise a bit basic
One reason why I chose this over the MY18 was the unproven electronics and I didn't want to be a guinea pig again so I guessed that most of the bugs on the MY have been sorted and it should be OK. The other reason was the £16k saving which can't be ignored and I'm not fussed that it's the 'old' model it's still a fabulous vehicle. Basic SE sitting behind it was £8k more

Going to be a pig to keep it clean but I was going to get it ceramic coated so asked dealer not to wax it but as yet not had a chance to get it done. Don't want to wash it in case it gets loads of micro scratches.

I love it mate

Lovely Andy!

We made the same decision for the same reasons choosing a discounted MY17 over the MY18. After nearly 2k miles mine is behaving itself and all the electronics are fine.

The ceramic coating is working well. A quick wash and it looks like new again. MY23 D350 HSE

I paid same price but with a few more extra's. These pre reg cars are bloody good value really for a new Autobiography but the miles are up a bit at 23 on this one, mine had only 9 so maybe this one has had a quick thrash by a potential punter

An unusual colour and combination, but I quite like it.

I really like the green with black pack but I couldn't live with that interior colour combination and I don't think the interior plum colour goes with the green either.
Bit rich on price too especially for a colour combination that is going to have a very small audience.
