Default Re: Downgrading the V8 :(

No point me commenting- I currently own 3 x V8s, and love each of them, with my favourite being the GTE. I had tried Ford 6s, even a Mitsu 380, and the thing I've come to realise is that I am prepared to pay to have the V8......

There's no way i could've afforded a new GTE, not even a new GS, but a great deal on a 2.5 year old GTE was there for the waiting and I couldn't be happier (I think a new one would cause me feelings of guilt.....).

So, having said that, have you tried a 2 year old Kuga? Smallish, practical, soft roadish and at 2 years old will still have some warranty, but will already have copped the largest part of the depreciation - no pint spending $40k when $20k will do the same job.
