    When did the facelifted headlights come to the saloon that started on the coupe? Too recent so still depreciating lots?

    Besides, if going for a Jag may as well get an Aston V8 Vantage. What you spend in buying (IIRC early ones are not much over £30k now) you'll save in it depreciating less or slower.

    There must be a hard floor that prices will never drop below, being one of the best looking and image positive cars you can buy. MPG and servicing costs probably best brushed under the carpet though.

    Edit: 'rear seats' may be a problem
    Point me to the Aston Diesel department please...

      I thought the diesel requirement had been dropped with people recommending GTRs and Porsches.

      Maybe an LPG'd Aston is an option. Though it will only add to the already expensive servicing.
      Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

        I don't know. OP seems a bit confused. Talking about super cars like the GTR and 911 and then saying it must be diesel.

        I've no idea, but if you forget the diesel bit I'd be looking at a DB9 for about £40K for sure. Also the Bentley Continental for about the same money (or less).

            Or a debadged Chrysler 300C and spend the rest on black window film and hookers.

              Porsche Panamera (in a decent colour) is one of the most beautiful cars on the road.

              4 seats.
              Think it might be available as a diesel.

              Probably too expensive though.

              Jaguar XF or Mercedes CLS then. (CLS better looking, but a bit big.)

                  2nd hand it's a £70K plus car.

                  Only sasguru and his fantasy wealth can afford that.

                    You chaps need to get a little imagination. How about this:
