Hi

If you check the reg being a 2007 car the. Emissions are 231 Kgm and road tax is the high bracket £540 so maybe worth haggling as that will put a lot of people off.

The car looks tidy but not a large spec on it no pan roof but depends on the budget and what suits but has running boardsand colour combo is re okay, it does have the black plastic arches which are unpainted although I know some have had them painted the body colour.

Definitely worth a look if local to you

Graeme

Cheers Graeme,to be honest the Cayenne is going to have to go lambda sensor now no big deal but it’s just one thing after another.
Think we’re going to go down the lease route Mercedes GLA is looking the best I don’t think I’ve got the patience to buy another 2nd hand vehicle.

Hi
I know the feeling having the same with an Abarth,with one thing after another and the latest bill for me is
for £1500 makes it hard to swallow. 

You do get to the point where enough is enough and you have to cut your losses and anew car gives you that piece of mind and a Warranty.

Since there are so many deals about its worth looking at and I’m doing the same.

I felt the same way when my constantly faulty E53 got to about 6 years old.  It had been bad from day 1 (car built over Xmas 2004) and repairs were getting silly with no good local Indy who understood ‘X’ BMWs.  They were fine with the BMW cars but not our cars.

Have PCPd ever since.  Our Gran Tourer is on a 4-year deal and gets most of the use.
