Hi all,
I'm thinking of changing my 407 saloon and I spotted this usedcarsni.com/99631175?grtkey=1356854712_e566556df66f76fda7850df7562d5380 not too far from me, for £2450 (05 with 43k miles). Sorry I can't post the URL but if you paste it and put in the W's you can look at it.
It's a 1.9 but I'm not sure if it's a 120 or 150? The seller listed C02 as 160 and I believe the 120 has this figure (with the 150 being listed as 161?). The DVLA website reg check won't bring up any information about the plate.
Anyway, I would be happy with the 120 8v. I'll phone the seller tomorrow and get some more information. During that call I will ask about the service history, particularly the timing belt / water pump and alternator.
My question really is; should I?
I'm not new to a car with problems. The 407 has had many and I have probably spent around £1500 in 2 years (clutch and DMFW to name a few). It's an 06 but now on 98k miles and I would love to change to a bigger car. Book value on mine is 2200 trade but 2800 private. I might borrow some £ from my savings account, buy the Croma for as little as possible, and then sell the 407 privately.
I guess I'm wanting someone to say, 'they aren't that bad - go for it' rather than 'its too late for me, but you can still save yourself!'.
Would you buy one again?
