I agree, wasn't the perfect car for me but would have bought on price if a steal was to be had.

Glad you got sorted, was a great deal and easily the best option when looking for a 4.7 GTS in my opinion. I've bought two of them this year and the MC Auto is bar far the best to live with of the various options. A 2013MY car at £68k or a 2009 at £50k+??? Clearly if £50k is someone's limit then that's all the can buy but vfm of a 2013 car still under warranty versus a car 3 times its age, the extra spend is well worth it in my opinion.

Agree with it on that basis - ie age - as the price points are flatter then you would expect.

It's an MC Auto shift, not an MC Shift BigBob.

Sure Dicky. The one I drove, though, was an MC Shift. I appreciate that the MC Auto Shift is the one that is selling most mind.

Will be taking mine out today for the first time in nearly two weeks...hope it starts.

Re the GS.

If memory serves me right there was a v.high miles one 80÷k which went for £18k about a year ago and Lozs' Cat D one for a similar price at aboit the same time. These both had tec and recent clutch and good service history.

£15k is rather optimistic IMO

It'll be a very sad day indeed if a running, usable GS sells for £15k regardless of miles.

I'm with you Pete...To be honest I can not see a GS ever dipping under 17k regardless of miles......May get the odd one but they are a very desirable car and I think that will be enough to keep the values up......Lots are talking about the one to have a cherish......

£16.5k is the cheapest I heard one go for.

I didn't mean to quote your comment Phil. Paul's was a fair price considering the work to bring it to a good spec. Nice car actually, jayblue has a good one. Really drives well.

That's a great car for that money..... Starting to form the view that as there's so few of these, all Gransports should be owned by forum members.... we could then operate a Cartel...!

Nice but how can it have a full service history when it was serviced in 2011 then not until 2014, pity as up until then the service history was excellent

If a car only covered say 400 miles in those years would it put you off? Mine was sat for 5 years and has mot to prove this but no services during, I don't see that as a bad thing and I think we can be OCD about this sort of thing.
