imo, £2400 for a VR6 is way too much, especially if it's standard. There are loads of them around for about £1.5k...

True. How come you've got yours up for 2 grand? its a GL isn't it?

Erhmmm, it's not exactly standard, is it? lol

And actually I lowered the price and was open to offers for a while...

But I've already stripped it, and will sell as standard. Well, sort of, except the exhaust and coilies  :grin:

I'll try and get a link up of what I've seen. It's White.

Yeah the £2-2,500 ones are not standard. Basics done to them like dropped, 16/17s, exhaust, induction, etc.

Vr6 interior is same layout as 8v isn't it. I've got some speaker pods i made for 4 6.5s in each door which sit over the door card. Would be nice if they went straight in.

Running costs aren't a problem. I was also lookin at a 4.0 grand Cherokee. Yipes.

Get some camminess in your life; go 16v! VR6s are just fat torque buckets for lazy people! :grin:

Can you afford to run the VR?

If so, then get it.
