420

Anybody got any views on these cars?

I`m thinking of swapping my 300e 24v for a 420 sec, hopefully one of the later ones. Can I expect to get a good one for about £3,000 to £4,000 and what problems should I be looking for initially - what are their common faults? Also will there be a huge difference in ride quality, handling...
