Hi guys, looking at this? What do you think? Does anyone know the car? I'm looking at around £15k for it.
Thanks

Preston-rr, I'm no expert but for what its worth, I paid not too much more than that a year ago for my S/C with 48k miles, - also a private buy, and it was advertised for a bit more still

If you're a cash buyer, I'd try your £15k ....and see what reaction you get. If its already been reduced you might find you're the only bidder. Also, the description says "4.4L" .. If it is a S/C, it will be a 4.2 - check to be sure.

If its right for you and mean't to be, I'm sure you'll love the S/C - a great buy IMO if you don't have a high annual mileage.

Good luck. Carl

Thanks. I noticed that. Il push him on it if I take it further. I only do about 7k a year so the mileage isn't a problem but I want one with as low miles as possible obviously. I can never seem to find S/C with low miles for around the £15k mark?
Are you saying you saying you think it's a bit expensive?
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it.

You could try your luck @15k but i doubt he'd let it go so cheap. Its either a typo error or he doesn't know what he's selling because LR didn't make a 4.4 supercharge it was a 4.2.

Some facts are right, others wrong. Pictures show supercharged so it's a 4.2 as indicated on the right hand side, not a 4.4.
On the right hand side, it also shows Acceleration: 0 to 62 in 8.2, thought it was 7.2 for the S/C 4.2. Maybe a typo

Price is probably roundabout right, the right buyer at the right time might pay that, if you're prepared to let it go why not try your luck, he/she can only refuse and then you can either walk or offer closer to his price. 

"Roads ? Where we're going there are no roads." Back to the future.

Thanks again. Just asked the question ref the engine size. Will update soon.
How much would it cost to add HST front and rear bumpers, and 22" alloys?
Cheers for the help guys, good to have somewhere to turn for help.

Just checked out the registration for you and it is listed as a 4.2 supercharged, 385bhp,406 lb ft torque, black in colour, 1st reg 1st Sept 2005, hope this helps

Rigsby MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

2012 3.0 SDV6 Luxury gone, but a great motor

SC was 7.6 seconds

mega expensive at 17k , cap retail is only 16095 so there is no way hes getting that for it off his drive way.

Cap clean on the car is 13750 and its looks pretty decent example in the pics, 15k ish is prob an ok private sale. Although in my experience people don't usually knock off 2k form their asking price.

I'd be looking to get 2005 s/c at around 13k with the similar miles. Petrol cars are slow sellers as a result of the fuel economy, having said that with a bad winter forecast the less desirable models will get snapped up especially in the 13-15k price bracket.

Thanks for everyones help. It does look a nice example, he is sticking at £15.5 which I agree is too much money. It has just had £2500 worth of work recently including new air pump, brake discs, front tires, suspension bushes, steering bushes, engine management software update and a major service.
Does anyone know of any others that I could look at that I probably havent come across on autotrader or pistonheads.

+1 Pea, i was thinking the same as you, thats a lot of money spent that you might have to spend on the next one you look at for the sake of an extra £500. i know what i'd do

Cheers, guys. I will keep looking and hopefully line up a few to look at. The relative piece of mind that this work has been done is worth the extra.
Anyone help me with the HST kit? How much am I looking at and where is best to get them from?
