    Is still a lovely car, although like nearly all models the facelift looks just a shade less good looking than the original.

        I had a similar choice recently. An XF or bimmer convertible.

        Went for the convertible and how glad I did. The smile on my chops when I drive it top down is like having a coathanger stuffed in my gob!

        I just cant imagine that driving the XF although it is an excellent car.

        As for a 3 year old AM well, you better have deep pockets for the constant repair and service costs. Why do you think the current owner has got out of it at 3 year old!? Its a no brainer Im afraid.

          If I was spending £45k on a new car, I'd look at a fully tricked XF rather than an XK, but that's just personal circumstances.

          If it's a choice between those two - I'd pick the Aston, no contest.

            I've got a similar dielema, I need to choose between:

            1) 5 year old Mondeo

            2) 10 year old BMW 3 series

            3) Something else?

            Not quite as excting as the OP's.

                  Mondeo. Cheaper to service. Less "keyable". I'm guessing performance isn't really a big deal?

                    Not really, I need cheap and reliable with 4 doors and a reasonable boot. A focus may suit me better but they are inexplicably more expensive, must be more in demand.
