940 Estate
V70
Boxster S
Lotus Excel
I love them all in different ways (except the V70 which I bought at Christmas 'cos the wife wanted something easier to drive as a family car, but it's too soulless for me).
Might be the Boxster gets the push....
Do you know Angus MacColl?

Name doesn't ring a bell I'm afraid. Know Kevin Devine if that's any help.

Are you selling the 940 or the Boxster ?

Cheers

Angus Snr and Jnr are top notch pipers from Benderloch. Sorry to jump in on your sale thread.

Ha, wish I could make my mind up! Really, the 940 should go as it's superseded by the V70 but I'll miss it terribly. The Boxster should go as it's possibly the most expensive to run (£360 VED + Service costs) and I haven't got to love it yet. So maybe both need to go. There again I've three guys pestering to buy the Lotus but I still enjoy driving it.
A decent offer on the 940 or Boxster or both would see them away.
Which one do you want? Might do discount for two......

I'm only interested in the 940 tbh. I also need to clear a car out before I buy anymore

To be fair it was me that offered £2500. I didn’t realise it was this car. If you’d of put the problems described in this post in the advert I probably wouldn’t have.

I’d go for full disclosure in the advert including all the bad bits. With where you are, you’re going to be possibly having people travelling a long way for the car so it’s better to be honest from the outset.
