A 300's not a bad option. Only problem it's an automatic!

For that sort of money mate you want a newer model (post 2001). Personally I'd get a black interior. I got cream originally and I've changed to black nice then.

Wow, that IS gorgeous! And almost perfectly what I'm after - except I was after the 2litre (3.0 would be too high insurance for me - I'm looking at £700 TPF&T for the IS200!), and it's £850 over my budget Big Grin

My insurance- fully comp with business is less than £300 per year- get a quote- you might be surprised!

Actually, based on that ad, I'm wondering if mine is under-priced!

I already have, but only two years NCB and I'm guessing where I live (plus some points for being naughty) = not cheap for me Sad

To go back to what you said, yes the sport came with 35mm lower springs and tinted rear windows however no they didn't come with a different grille or different rear light. The darker rear lights came on younger models think it was 2002 or 03 on most things are the same

Ouch indeed - I almost forgot how high insurance is if you haven't got much NCB.

That'll teach me for selling all my cars prior to buying a house, and relying on driving works vans only for a couple years to pay for said house! Didn't have a car for about 5 years, which means I lost the 4years NCB I had, and the 1.4l Rover 25 I'm tooling around in at the moment is costing best part of £600 TPF&T!
