The Vignale doesn't get good press regarding what you get for the extra money either :(

Thats an idea and your right about the depreciation.
I only tug the boat up and down the launch ramp as live right next to the marina. The Vignale is very nice I will admit. Most of the time the rear seats will be flat for my fishing gear lol.I'm not carting building rubble the builder can do that but I have a lot of crap to get rid of.

It is obviously a pre reg car to fill their monthly quota as it is on a '17 plate

They have no less than 4 vignals on 17plate all ex demos and sold

People will buy them at those prices as they are comparable to a new Titanium price, I know which I would buy

Yea I know thats a good deal though, been up to local dealer a few times now to see what theyve got in the way of nearly but nothing that I like.We have Ford plants on our doorstep and their European offices hopefully find one of their pool cars now that we've gone from 17 to 67 plate and all sold with full warranty.

Well just got back from my weekend away in a hired kuga 2.0 ltre diesel auto.
Excellent driver and comfortable with good mpg.
Power shift is brilliant for overtaking.
Yes its the car for me !
Did a total of 375miles in it to Gloucester and back.

dad hasn't used the 'manual' buttons on his yet (after a year) and ive heard the newest facelift has paddles.

they do seem to go rather well for the engine power and size of the vehicle.

I think you will have to search and travel if necessary and be quick on the draw to get one
