I can totally vouch for the comfort and if you are into long journeys then I think you will struggle to do better.

Ive had the SDV8 and its got a fair lump of turbo lag, suspension was all changed at 50k miles, front diff changed, door locks failed so couldn’t actually close the door it just swang in the opening, dealer service was poor and I always tried to find ways to make ot ride flatter and feel more nimble, but failed.

If you plan to go touring this is the best car by far and the only car I would consider if it were me, a great choice. Here’s my concern.

The 4.4L SDV8 is fantastic for transcontinental trips - or the local shopping.

As per previous comments, I would check for exclusions on that warranty as £500 sounds a bit 'inexpensive' and ensure the Service History is good. As for the car, I've only had mine about a year and despite my reservations about moving from a great couple of petrol S/C L322's to an oil burner, I still think it's the dogs danglies. The standard torque is around 740nm from 1750 to 2250 RPM and it goes like a stabbed rat SDV8 AB MY 2019

One owner, full history... why not. Enjoy, especially at a keen price.
