I was hoping to chop it in, whack some cash on top or finance the extra. Depends what the price of the car is. If I find a good car for ~12k I'll just pay cash. Go ... |

Well I'm officially on the hunt now. Seen 2 in my price range that look decent enough, but clearly nobody wants a 2.7 RRS in PX as getting the dealers to respond is painful  |

| Fair play Mike. You're probably right. The drive home would be fun anyway. If it's available when I'm back from honeymoon mid May I'll be seriously considering it. |

Yeah the 4.4 is always an option. 4.2 is the fav tho  I could get one at the real low end of my budget too but really only interested in '07 facelifts or newer. Found a beauty for 15-16k but it's hu ... |

| More good info thanks fine by me, I'm not a fast driver and all my miles are generally motorway cruising or A-roads so I'm just after straight line power. Sounds like I'll be happy with a 4.2 if th ... |

| Yeah it is pretty pathetic. Once it starts moving it's fine up to 40 then very sluggish. Overtaking uphill is almost embarrassing. I've been sat behind lorries at 40mph uphill on the a34 waiting for a ... |

| I think that's what I'll do unless an amazing cheap 5.0 shows up. Ultimately I'm after a fatty with a supercharged v8 and either will feel like a rocket compared to the 2.7 RRS. |

| If I was to buy on condition I think I'll be looking at a low mileage 4.2. The 5.0s in my range really do seem to be the cheapest of that model going. Not sure I'd be comfortable with that, could end ... |

| No problem! Good to see a positive report on a 4.2. After more research it looks like that's my most realistic option! |

| Thanks for the replies everyone. Good info - much appreciated. Seems the 5.0 performs better but is a more expensive and potentially riskier option. For my budget I might be better off getting a good ... |

Always have to have a few quid laying around for the RRS so that's fine
Looks like I'll have to be patient as there are only 3 5.0s nationwide in my price range at the moment, but then I am only ... |

| Thanks mate. Assuming 106,000 miles isn't that high for one of these provided it's been looked after? Think you're right about the petrols, I've seen the same ones for sale for weeks now. |

Hi all,
I'm from the RRS forums. Had a '58 RRS V6 HSE for a year, love the thing. Has run like a dream for the 20,000 miles I've done so far. My commute is dropping from around 450 miles a week to ... |
