Had the XFS 3.0V6. Fairly quick, crap in bends, nice quality on the inside, great luxury place to sit, nice smooth ride, painted by blind apes, and accelerates only mildly faster than it depreciates.
Yes I was going to PM you about what model you had, was it the 240bhp or the S 285bhp quite a difference in torque between them also....
Standard 3.0 V6
240bhp
369lbs/ft
0-60 6.7
S
275bhp
443lbs/ft
0-60 5.9
Plenty enough for me....
As a replacement for my Leon it would be a HUGE step up in anyones book.
Not seen the blue/purple in the flesh although I saw one yesterday that was almost a black rose colour but more purple than poo....
As for depreciation I would be looking at an 09, maybe 10 at a push so someone else with have emptied their pockets.... 18-22k for a good one with not a lot on the clock, it's a lot of car for that money!
