clk swap

[rob swallow]

looking at possibly swapping my 2000 plate clk 320 for a 2000 plate clk 430. Hes put he wants a reasonable offer so what's reasonable? 129k service history no tax 12 months mot. What's the benefit of a 430 over a 320 other than a bit more power? Thanks in advance

Completely different cars. The V8's are fantastic. The noise ....

I had a 320 before the 430 , and i would never go back. It's got more than a bit more power , the character of the engine and the power delivery is completely different. It just never seems to run out of steam.

The V8's feel more solid to drive as well , not sure why , possibly because of the heavier engine sitting forward , heavier discs etc.

Get it done

The 430 is harder to sell though you so you can balance the difference if you play hard ball. As Howard says the V8 is the better car though.

£1500 to £1900 depending on how much rust is on it.
