The residuals are awfull on Rovers. An associate of mine has a 620Ti on a N plate and it was purchased a few years back for £7000 he thought it was the bees knees and would whoop anything and claimed many scalps of Cossie's Evo's and Scoobies. This was until another friend of mine actually got his Scoobie and the Rover looked like it was in reverse Being a talkative chap (i.e full of crap ) he tried to trade his 620i in against a Skyline saying he wanted £4500 for his Rover with it's huge mod list (17's and a dump valve) he nearly cried when they offered him just £1000 trade in on it. Even after throwing toys about they would only go to £1150.

In the cars defence though it is comfy, easy to drive and not too unpleasant to look at and is actually acceptably quick. It's not the Cossie, Evo, Scoob killer my associate made it out to be but for a car of its size it's not bad at all

Stick one of those motors in a Metro and think how much fun you could have
