A quick(ish) question for those in the know...
I, being a poor lad who has just bought a house, have about £4-4.5K to spend on a car - is it worth bagging one of the two-litre 406 Coupes I've seen floating around on AutoTrader? I know it won't be anywhere near as exhilarating a drive as the 3.0 V6, but I need something that's remotely economical as well...so I guess it's pose value really...at least I'm honest! It is a f***ing gorgeous car though (mmm, pinnifarina...) and, considering my current beast is a smashed-up '95 Mondeo Estate (1.8TD, just to be totally slow), even the two-litre will probably be pokey enough for me.
Anyway, I've seen a couple in my price range with about 95-100K miles on the clock - assuming the FSH shows it's been serviced as required, is it worth it? What are the engines like when they've got that amount of miles on the clock? I don't want to travel 100 miles to get one, only to have it die after twelve months.
All opinions/feedback massively appreciated, and respondents will be entered into a free draw to win a recently-used and unlaundered sock.
Thanks, Steve.
