I spent some of the weekend looking at S types. I was mainly looking at diesels but looked at other models as I was mainly looking at interiors. It's hard to know what you like just looking at pictures.
I saw quite a few s type petrols in lovely nick with low mileage, so condition of the cars were very good. I would really appreciate views on the difference between having the petrol and the diesel. Are the 3 litre engines reliable on a low mileage? I have avoided looking at low mileage diesels as i fear problems with DPF.
Probably would go for an 04 sport model or later. I know the diesel would be better mpg, but by how much? I dont do as much mileage these days as I work away a lot. Petrol prices are now lower than diesel so maybe that combined with lower purchase price means there is not much in it.
I would really appreciate your views. I have been reading a lot of this forum, and it has really impressed me with the knowledge and considered views given by the members. None of the schoolboy cat calling you see on some other forums.
