So is the 4.2 going to be the one to have.....? ...... 4.7 is the better engine but from reading the ot her threads running costs and parts are off the scale ..... Perhaps after being the poor relative the 4.2 will be the more desirable car......Just a thought.

The only two more expensive bits on a 4.7 are the front brakes (rears are the same) and the clutch if you have an MC, 4.7 auto obviously does not. Some 4.7 MCs don't have skyhook which might make them cheaper long term on damper costs/electronic malfunction. I personally think the forum overstates the variator issue but if that bothers anyone then build dates make the the 4.2 more affected by this.

I don't see the point of buying a 130k miler when you can get one with half the mileage for similar money. Needs to be much cheaper at that mileage surely.

Looks decent though to be fair.
