Hi there,

Go and view the car yourself and have a look.

Ask him if its a 3.2 engine or a 3.0 engine (its on the V5). if its 3000cc its a V6 if its 3200cc is an I6.

Is it a 5 spd or 7spd gear box. The older I6 didn't have 7 speed gear box IIRC.

The older I6 car is more economical, not much less powerful but the 3.0 is a fair bit greedier but allegedly much more refined/smooth.

Key the VIN number into the Russian VIN 'checker' website listed in the Favourites section of this forum.

What does the chassis number start with?

211026 (226 for estate) is a I6 - 613 engine
211022 (222 for estate) is a V6 - 642 engine
