Well after a week or so of thinking I've decided! My next car will (all other factors remaining equal!) be a Crossfire coupe - I've looked at convertabliesbut decided that they are just not really what I want (which is a shame as the look with the roof down is just amazing!). I like the look of XFs anyway and on a VFM basis (bit of a buyers market I guess. Large engine+recession=bad resale) I really don't think that they can be beaten currently (certainly not by the TT or 350Z, both of which while nice are just that little bit too common for me) and the styling still gives me a WOW

So the easy bit done - now I need to start looking.
Am only interested in an Auto so that's a good start
Don't want a vert.
I don't really want black.
Don't really want SSB - last XF was a SSB and so I'd rather not have one of those again either
The yellow is 'vert only .
Red is, marginally, in 3rd with no clear winner out of graphite or aero-blue.
Other requirements are a low mileage - prefer <40k with <30k even better
As few previous owners as possible (though seeing how quickly I have changed cars in the past I'm not overy worried by 3/4 owners - especially given the 'large engine' thing)
Obviously long MoT and a long service interval with good tyre life are also bonuses - though price dependant can be worked with.

Hopefully I've already got one to look at on Saturday morning so watch this space so to speak
