Morning all,

Long time lurker and infrequent poster here however the time is right to finally jump into FF ownership.

I'm moving careers and fingers crossed, starting a new post in February that comes with a car allowance. One of the stipulations is the car mustn't be older than 6 years so I will be looking for a 2018 car to give me a couple of years in it before having to changing again.

Unfortunately this stretches the funds more than I'd like so prices must be keen (was originally looking for 16/17 plates).

I'd much prefer a 4.4 as I'll be doing enough miles that rules out a petrol and I want a v8 before they get wiped out by eco-ists.

Most/any dark colours would be considered, you'll have to tempt me on lighter colours.

I have a few weeks to sell my current steed and secure the job but funds will be in place from the start of January regardless; I need to have one sorted by mid February.

Please send me details of anything you have or have seen that may be suitable advertised elsewhere.

Thanks for your time

Hopefully my car is going on Monday, I have a final interview the week after for a new job that will mean I'm either buying an L405 registered in 2019 (because of the company car allowance policy vs my budget) or one around 2015+ in January (maybe beginning of February iff that suits the seller better).

If you have or know anything that may be of interest, please make contact and we can have a chat. First time FFRR owner

better at MY18+ Why? well the facelift looks better and the security system is much better for starters. 2018 SE SDV8 4.4 Byron Blue

I know what you mean, I have been searching on the Approved site and the newer ones are nicer but I still like the older ones, and the older ones are still a big step up from my 15 year old BMW.

The deciding factor is if I get the job and it comes with a car allowance, then, I'll be going for the newer one; any other option probably means the older car is favourite (but not by much). First time FFRR owner

Bump,

My car has sold so will definitely be buying a FF in the new year.

I cant believe that with all the footballer who live in Cheshire that there are hardly any available near me. All the ones I may be interested in on the RR OS are miles away First time FFRR owner

It’s always worth being prepared to travel if it’s the colour/spec/age/mileage you really want, I had to travel 350M TWICE to get mine!! Good Luck!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Hi Gremlin.

I'm not too averse to travelling, I live in Cheshire but bought my BM from Southampton, an Audi from Ipswich and a race bike from Dumfries.

I'm hoping a couple more come on the market after Christmas so I can have a look at a couple in a similar area in a day. First time FFRR owner

Good news as I have been offered the job I was after and the salary/car allowance is bang on for my needs so looking for an L405, ideally a SDV8 in dark colours but nothing discounted. No red interiors, looking at 2018My to early 2020MY First time FFRR owner
