How can you miss the chance of getting back into a Macan?

Value for money motoring

Converseley

The 3.0 litre Jag X Type I had for 11 years and the new price in 2003 was £34,000 and I sold it for £1,000 hence £3k per year in depreciation.

But that is paper depreciation, acutal cost to my pocket was £1,500 per year.

Carmine red

Colours are poor,

Personally I Find Carmine too dull a red for my tastes, but its not my spec.

The VG is to dark and the Carrera White has a blue sheen too it.

For me met black rules even though its cleanining is high maintenance and a job for tomorrow.

Welcome.I would walk away from that one.21" on standard spring give an aweful quality of the ride, PASM is needed at minimum.Standard lights are very poor, we have members here regretting not specifying at lease xenons.Power steering + is to me essential, it lightens the load at speed and for low sp...
