Hi all,

I am looking at the L405's now and after a little advice. Usage would be around 20-30 nasty miles in town per month but 600 motorway miles every 6 weeks or so. Engine wise I am heavily leaning to the 4.4 SDV8 but remain very slightly open to V6, IF the exact spec appears, which brings me to the point...

A dealbreaker is interior, and I am after beige leather. One thing I have noticed, is that there is a matching beige carpet, but I have hardly seen this - was it rare/discontinued early on? I was trying to research the trim options at the time but unable to find much on that (to that specific detail). Does anyone know of such a resource, or have the knowledge themselves?

Some research suggested a bunch of niggles were fixed by the MY2015 (electrical and body), is there substance to that such that one might avoid MY2013/2014? I did have in mind that cars by this age, have either survived/had issues resolved.

Finally, budget wise is mid/high teens. In your more expert opinion(s), is that realistic for 4.4 SDV8 Vogue SE (or higher) MY2013-2016 with a proper service history? I would rather not bother at all than take a bigger risk on a dog! Also, if there are any less obvious, but significant, controls of price?

thanks

My old 2016 MY VSE had oatmeal semi aniline leather, beige carpet and configured walnut wodd, with capaccino dash top and cream headlining. It was exactly what I wanted at the time and lucked out finding one.

It was a 4.4 SDV8 and no issues in 6 years ownership, doing similar driving to you- some shorter trips, but lots of long distance motorway driving.

This is the interior

Thanks! That is pretty much the exact interior I am after. Good to know its still around ~2016 and in SE models
