I payed £52500 for it in November and the dealer told me in July 2007 when new with the options it had it was £90000.I had to be quick as the day after
I phoned a deposit through to hold it till I could get down to see it someone turned up to buy it and it had only been in the garage a day!

Thanks for the info. Do those prices include VAT? Is VAT 20%?

The price includes VAT which at the time was 15% its now gone back up to 17.5% I take it converted to dollars thats steep.I'd love to know why that is,I also use exclusively Shell V Power in the car which at current exchange rates works out at $1.90 per litre,how does that compare to you guys? Thanks for all the kind comments about the car and making me welcome.Neil

VAT is a killer, as it is a hidden tax that politicians manipulate at will. US P-car prices are lower because there's no VAT (we pay sales tax in most states - about 10%), and import duties are low, and european car makers have long hedged currency trading. Prices in Europe are high as someone must pay for socialism. We are going that way, unless we decide against it in November.
