2.0 v6 x type opinions please

[mcd840]

Hi all, I would like peoples opinions on the 2.1 v6 x type, I know that no one buys a v6 for the fuel economy and ideally I would like an AWD but if a nice example 2.1 comes up then is it worth going for ? A jag specialist told me the 2.1 clearly isnt the fastest choice but far less to go wrong than with a AWD or a diesel, all opinions welcome

 

cheers

Hi Craig,

The car seems to have been used sparingly and the SE is a well appointed car.  I paid £7500 for a 2.5AWD SE 5 years ago on an 05 plate and my son paid £3,300 6 months ago for an 06 2.0D spore with 90k on the clock.

While the price is on the higher side, the spec and the mileage make up for it.

If the car is in good condition and the dealer gives a good warranty I would be inclined to go with it.

Regards,

Peter.

Slightly off topic here, seen a nice 2.5 v6 sport however to my dispaointment, no cruise, how easy is it to retro fit ?
