Just got a 4.6is.

Post by gmc15 » Wed Nov 17, 2010 7:31 pm

I have just done a deal to px my 2001 3.0d for a 2003 4.6is :D Think it has most of the goodies on it and it's black with black leather. So pleased I did not go for the one with half leather/cloth.

I will pick it up next week and hopefully post some pics then.

congrats there Graeme :yeah: re the half leater/cloth there are a few on xoutpost that have that and some think it's great, perhaps it could be easier on the rear end in hotter climates :lol: personally i prefer full leather :thumbsup:

I got £7k for my 2001 3.0d, 89200 miles FSH but no comms, against £11k for the 4.6, so That is about what I was expecting :)
