Default How much would a

decent sapph 4x4 cossie sting me? I'd be looking for a good solid example, with probably 70K ish on it? Some random person has asked if i'd sell my RST so i told them to make me an offer. I know i'd take at least £4500 for me to part with it and if it goes, it cossie time!!!

The other thing is i know rwd saphs are cheaper, but i'm a bit scared of the rwdness of it all Is that a bit ?? If they are tamer than i imagine they are, how much would a decent one of those set me back??

I paid 8k for me bog std saff 4x4, one of the last off the production line (body coloured spoiler, no black lip), 60k, fsh, never bin thrashed till now. It was worth the extra 2k over and average priced 4x4. Iv'e had it for about a year without the slightest of probs. Got it from Duncan at Automotive Unlimited (near Stanstead Airport). See what he's got, he only sells top cars! www.automotiveunlimited.co.uk

I'd be prepared to get a loan out to get a better car if needs be, as i know its better to buy the best you can afford so as to avoid the hassle of replacing/fixing things on a not-so-hot example.

I'll just have to see how much the randomer offers me!!

Its got 48K on it now, i've had it just under a year, original panels etc, even had the original dunlops on the back when i got it They werent the best tyres ever! Also remeber is different over here, there are not many about, and even fewer good ones. Unfortunatly the previous own lost the fecking service book, but i've got a folder full of reciepts for the car.
