My girlfriends brother had on 03 or 04 one, commercial, and had a fair bit of trouble keeping tyres on it, plus he had problems with the door locks and air-suspension. Think they're very hard on fuel too.Quote:

If you do go to look at it,
Will you give the fella a smack around the ear for taking his photos that way.
They're getting seriously cheap now.
I like them, but have heard nothing but horror stories about them from anyone who has owned one.
Well I know someone who had one from new and I'm afraid I can't speak positively either. He loved the car but was always having problems including engine shitting itself. Air suspension not working. And other problems with the new engine. He gave up and bought a 405. Worth a punt at 3.5K a lot of car for the money imo. But if it was just problems all the time you'd have to ask if it's really worth it?Quote:

I'd stay clear of them. Great to drive until the brake. Then they're terrible
My old boss had one and it was a bleedin hen house!
He spent a fortune on it and tryin to keep it on the road, he got an x5 and never looked back...
Just my 2c?
Have only heard horror stories too but you know yourself, you can get lucky. Id avoid that one, looks like its been sideways too much :D

iam prob gonna buck the trend here :
i had a 03 vogue and a 4.4 v8 04 and loved both of them ...
yes they have their problems but they have some presence on the road still - even the earlier ones
find one that has had the airbags / air pump / gearbox refurb and you wont go far wrong
dont buy anything over 120k if it hasnt had the above work as it will 100% shit itself
id happily buy another one.... looked at a 05 face lift one recently and came very close to a purchase
