+ dvd changer + 2 sets of wireless headphones and remote controls. Do you know the full spec of the S/C? If not it'll probably push you well over the edge when you realise what's included! Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining! |

Well worth the minor additional cost in fuel over the Vogue TD6 and Vogue V8 of the same era - That 4.2 S/C engine whether in a RR or Jag is simply wonderful, the 2005/6 S/C is quite simply a better car at much the same cost. |

PS: I have driven and sold the 4.2 in the RR S/C, Jag XKR (new & old) and the Jag S-Type "R" and it is brilliant in a different way in all of them.... |

I'm afraid I don't know. The 2005+MY is also a MOST system and I upgraded my unit to digital TV for about £300. I think you are getting the message on this post....buy the SC, you won't need an M5 as well. Current MY2020 Gone: 1 x L405 and 2 x L322's |

I did see that one on PH, it's lovely but it seems a lot for what it essentially a pre-facelift with 22" wheels and slightly lower than normal miles. I've spotted a 2007 facelift, albeit with 89,000 miles on it, so I guess it might boil down to pre-facelift with less miles or a facelift with more miles - oh the dilemma! Here's the facelift - http://tiny.cc/dn21e |

Yep, that's nice too. A dilema as you said. What's more important, face lift or mileage? How long are you going to keep it? How many miles a year will it do? Is it a second car for weekend and family use? Service history is important. Current MY2020

Turns out that one's sold subject to the buyer getting finance. Looks like they go quick! I used to change every year or 18 months, but I had my 545 for nearly 3 years, so I guess I'm starting to slow down in my car buying habits! I'll maybe do 10,000 a year tops. It'll be my main car. but my wife has her own car for her uses. My main advantage is that I have a fuel card from my company that covers all my petrol! |

So I presume you'll be using the S/C to it's full potential on a regular basis? 2006 Mercedes CLS 1991 Retro-style Mini But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C... |
