I know of an immaculate 57 plate DB that will be coming up for sale in the next month or so -just above your budget mind
Thanks, but really needs to be red. I assume DB is diamond black or something?

If it were me I'd be knocking on Har-vey's door to buy his white 08 straight away
My last 4 cars have been grey or silver, so need something a bit more exciting

White is nice, but I suspect out of my budget.

Deep Burgundy is a very rare and unusually nice colour (I'd take a look as you'll be pleasantly surprised).

Would have bought one myself in that colour but the particular car I looked at had been in an accident; contrary to what the seller was telling me.

Good luck however with whatever you go for.

You have got to see the colour of pie&chips's car.... It is stunning, I am a fan of red cars( my last 5cars being Red) but if you can stretch to it it may be worth looking at his.

It's picky, but of you broaden your search to more than 40k miles, you might find one with 43k on it or something, which admittedly is more than you specified, but still.

There were some small changes along the way to consider, but you're also getting largely the same car with a 2004, as opposed to a 2006, so maybe look at that.

As everyone else has said, it's always right time, right place!

Might call about this, I wasn't sure if this was the darker red, looked at it a few times and wasn't sure. Very little detail in the advert which isn't great.

Not many 2004 and 2005 cars out there for sale.

I've started a spreadsheet as I'm getting confused between all the cars I'm looking at I'd be happy with a mint 2004 or 2005. Most on the market with reasonable miles seem to be 2006, which of course means higher road tax, but will be newer of course.
