    You know, if I had no car repairs or stupid ideas of getting a yellow sporting Punto I'd probably be considering buying it and flogging the passat.
    But then the brain wakes up and realises I'd be murdered with the fuel costs.

    Go for it, trust me.
    I hesitated on making a decision on a car recently and when I decided I'd go for it, it was too late.
    I've been trawling the web to find a similar one and am possibly going to be paying double that the one I missed was going for.

    Act first, decide later.


    Also, if you go easy on the throttle 3 or 4 days a week it won't actually cost you that much more.

    Man maths are always the best.
    I'll have to see cause my own yoke is getting a serious amount of work done so budget wise it's tricky.
    I'd need to sell my own one first.
    You were after a lexus or jag right?

    Yes the Daimler in the Luxobarge thread, very regretful I didn't follow my gut on it.
    My piece of advice is if you like it and you could possibly get the money together then go for it.
    It's better to have loved and lost than have never loved at all.

    It is for sale for very long time... Initially advertised at €2900, got dropped to €2400 and just recently to less than €2k.

    FYI - Ford S-Max RHD-LHD conversion is not easy, the cabin wall needs to be cut. Total cost is around €2500.

    Because majority of the car in this thread are big petrol engines... Ideal candidates for LPG conversions...

    Why did you mention changing it from RHD to LHD?

    How much driving would you have to do before you clawed back via fuel economy the 2500e spent on the conversion though?
