    Welcome along to the site and a nice choice of car and spec!

    What's your price band?

    You can get lovely late examples for as little as £3.5k - considering they were ~£23k new.

    Not silver, but a pretty rare Indigo Blue Galant Elegance has been mentioned in this thread.

    BTW, do you have any connection to Soggy Llama on here?

    LOL - just checking!


    As far as I am aware, it's not anybody's on here. Although no doubt the owner can tell us if they are!

    You'll get a very decent one for £3k. There'll be many well maintained examples out there, so don't settle for anything less.

    As for saloon over estate - stick with what your heart and head say, but don't be surprised if they both squabble after that you should have considered the other more seriously , but your head and heart agree that what you ended up with is the best!

    I still do that! I think it's the fact that both are good looking cars in both guises!

    Had a look at the silver elegance on autotrader today with rac man.

    If anyone else is looking at it dont touch it with a barge pole. HPI says its ok but its been in a crash and badly fixed. The list of things wrong with it is huge!

    £200 quid down and still no car

    At least the inspection saved me spending £2.5k on a crap car.

    OUCH!

    There's always this model, which is potentially up for sale here, however it is auto and black.

    I set out to get a white V6 but ended up with a black as the spec and condition was amazing, and I couldn't find a white facelifted model!

    I've got one!

    Its very tidy and runs great. Did 270 miles in it yesterday and not even a tiny hicup.

    The only slight thing wrong with it is a crack in the rear bumper. Once my finances have recovered a bit i think i will have a look for a replacement.

    Im very happy with my purchase!

    That is a bad cough! You might want to get it checked out.

    I think it could be contagious to as i now seem to have a new logo under my name!
