Try and find a 5.0sc for under 30k

This is all true... but one thing that I think will happen when the next model comes out the l322s which are work they something now will plummet a bit like the final p38s did when the l405 came out. Current stable:

newcastle BCA auctions - hammer price of TDV6 VSE 13 plate this morning was £23,600

however, it was really tatty, 100k miles and needed lots of scratches sorting, wheel refurbs, new windscreen, badges etc.

in Lloyd North Shields they have a 13 L405 in the showroom which has been there for 9 months not sold

at 40k I'm not surprised its not shifted regardless of its 55k miles Current stable:

An awful lot of drips around it. Could be water but could be something else.

Is the light coloured carpet and trim normal with black (or may be grey) seats on the L405? John

I'd wager that's water after a quick wash. I too thought the trim looked a bit strange but this one has a similar combo:

Looking at the last 2 adverts, I’m guessing a standard Vogue didn’t come with a sunroof. The pictures for both do a good job of disguising the fact! They could be sitting around for a while at those prices with that spec. 2011 TDV8 4.4 AB Bournville Brown
