Just make sure it's black.

Science fact is that all other colours are slower.

It also states that all other colours, (bar white) are cleaner too!!!

Check the engine code,if it starts with AXX make shure you warm it up & that it doesn't sound like a diesel on tickover.If it does it needs a new cam chain/oil pump chain.

Not strictly true, if you're bothered by it you can get it done, but AFAIK its not an issue other than the noise.

If it's black, there's no need for colour-coding

Pricing is difficult at the moment, as they keep going UP!!!
Mine's worth more than I paid for it (from a dealer) 2 months ago.

I was astonished to find a 54 plate at my dealers for just £500 less than I paid for my 05 plate last year. The 54 plate has more mileage than mine did and no leather / options.

But it was 'laser blue' - never seen that colour before in the flesh but it is

Why did they discontinue it?
