Absolute max £20k if a GT but I wouldn't want to spend more than £15k on a 4200.Hi David,
Welcome to the forum!
What is your budget? This is a great place to learn more and to work out what it is you’re looking for...
I knew that would be the case. I need to do a lot more research on the 4200 so I will be reading as many threads on here as I can find.Welcome!
20k is going to put you at bottom of the GT market, but £15k will buy you a nice 4200. So while the running costs of a 4200 will probably be slightly higher you will get more bang for your buck.
What's does a Gransport have over a 4200?Couple of nice Gransports within that budget
Another 5 BHP.What's does a Gransport have over a 4200?
It’s generally accepted that the Gransport is the more sorted of all previous iterations.Another 5 BHP.
Valved rear silencers.
Lower suspension.
Body styling.
Interior with sports seats and carbon trim.
A good friend of mine has a well known forum car in med blue for sale in Gloucester which is on Autotrader.

Unless you just want a comfortable Grand Tourer which is where the 4200 scores with the GS more of a Sports drive.It’s generally accepted that the Gransport is the more sorted of all previous iterations.
I think it’s fair to say most on here would have one over previous models.
I think you will found it's a lot more than 5bhp.This has been debated before and am sure will be again but at the end of the day it's personal preference. The face-lift 4200 and the GS were out at the same time, why? Because they are different cars and because some would prefer the qualities of the 42 and visa-versa. But at the same time quite similar!!??
Very similar (I think) to the Audi S4 cab and the Audi RS4 cab I have had, only a bit more than 5bhp between them.
I think for the extra £10k I would rather go with a GT.I'm in the 4200 over Gransport camp mainly as personally I didn't think the 10k extra difference for me when I bought mine was worth it. If they were the same price I would have had a Gransport.
The difference seems maybe the same or a bit less possibly now like for like but probably the same.
Take my 2007 4200 at 15k and Dave's GS at is it 15k miles? There must be £10k difference buying one to the other. I love Dave's btw but I'm not sure I could justify 10k more. Mainly as I'd rather have another different car using that 10k.
Each to their own and we are all different.
X 10!! ApproxI think you will found it's a lot more than 5bhp.
