the power doesn't worry me, it's the technical issues! I know they were mostly troll related but my 2.7 is powerful enough and runs on SVO at 90p litre

I use my 3.0 for towing a boat, the extra horses come in very handy!
Fuel consumption is a little better than the 2.7. A friend has a 98 2.7 which runs very well but seems a bit agricultural compared to the 3.0. All in all both good cars.... |

and most sources of information concerning MPG rate the 3l at the same as the 2.7 have you had a 2.7? |

it is technically illegal, and yes I have a problem with it too, to be honest I generally never buy from a dealer at all. When compare to the recent 'would you buy from an auction thread' is this a dealer, drying to ditch a lemon?
