    the 95s are horrible looking imo. much better off getting an aero 93. the post 2007 models got a facelifted interior which is miles nicer than the previous one.

    Test drove a 2007 with the interior upgrades but the exterior was the same (random and it was at a main dealer). Love the drive and engine but would prefer a 2008 model.

    Anyway this is all hypothetical as I'm doing nothing now.

    BTW I like the exterior of the 95 but the dash is very old school

    No funds for a new model, used is always the smart choice if you can find a good one :)

    I'd be aiming for a 2008/9 model I'd say

    Yes, apologies.

    I thought you meant a new model 95. I like the exterior facelift of 2008 for the 93. Although if they were cheap enough I'd nearly go for the older model so long as it had leather.

    That is right Steve! By the way, where did your username come from?

    Sounds like too much work regardless of the fact that you're getting rid! Any thoughts on the replacement?
