Hello all, this is my 1st post. I have been reading through various treads regarding FFRR ownership and have decided this is the car for me!

I am looking to spend about £40k on a 3.6 TDV8, I guess I'm looking at late 07 early 08 with mileage of about 35-40k.

What I was wanting to know is whether I should aim for a Vogue SE over a Vogue but I'm not too sure what the major differences are. My wife wanted DVD's in the rear, but that may have been a cost option on both models?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Regards Richard

ps forum is great.

Check out the sales area of the forum mate. One of the other forum members has lovely vogue se for sale. Top spec and great colour combination. Also used to be owned by another forum member so has been looked after.
Also, welcome  FFRR TD6 HSE
Adriatic Blue with Parchment leather.

There are differences between the 2 (don't ask me what) but there is, so I would be looking at an SE. There's one or two on here at the moment for a little bit over £40k but definitely worth it - http://www.garyelliott.co.uk/prestige_cars...index.html

The owner is a member on here and as Greg says the previous owner also a member

It depends what you want the car for.

If you have young kids avoid the Vogue SE as the seats are perforated and are a to get mess out of, the regular Vogue seats are easier to clean chocolate etc.. off.
Or get a seat of seat covers.

Otherwise, you just get a few more toys to play with on the V SE.

The seats are perforated because they are cooled.
You also get some nicer trim bits, cornering lights, auto-dimming wing mirrors etc...
(worth 2 or 3k more in my experience having had both)

Just get Gary to throw in some free seat covers  FFRR TD6 HSE

Good point I have a new set in the boot of the TDV8

I already have them on my TDV8

Why is it people are looking at buying now, when I don't check out it's possible replacement until end of Feb

Having Rear Screen's on mine have been good i have to say , but then again my youngest was 6 at the time , granted now and again she will still watch DVD's on them if going on a long journey or play games thru them ....

Plus as Fox says you get a few more toys in the Vogue SE , But bear in mind certain later models altho Vogue SE's never came with Rear Screen's .........

Mine does
