Help me choose a D3 V8

I am thinking I need a D3 V8 to use as a family car.

I already have diesel commercial so fancy a V8 Very Happy

I am pretty sure I don't want LPG.

Autotrader currently has a choice of 3:

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201709169355207

Which would you choose and why?

Thanks all.

Love the G4 but not sure if I could do the school run in it!

I agree the low mileage 3rd link looks good.

My only concern is that it is practically the same grey colour as my D4 commercial.

I can see myself getting mixed up and getting in the wrong one every morning. Laughing

Getting a used car is always a compromise in terms of color, trim and features. For some reason silver is a very popular color for these cars while the lighter metallic blues and Firenze red is almost unicorn like Rolling Eyes

Why the objection to LPG? My last three cars have had LPG and no problems. The only golden rule with the jag engine in the D3 is to ensure that a valve lube system has been fitted otherwise you'll be putting a set of valves in after 60k or so. Mine was converted when it had done 50 or 60k (from memory - before it was mine). It now has 160k on the clock and runs great. I had to spend a bit on the LPG system recently but after 100k miles that's to be expected

Maybe its just me but they all seem very expensive for what is after all a 11/13 year old car.

I thought they are a bit over priced but if people are willing to pay it, then clearly not.

I will be seriously watching that G4, the current one could be looking for a new home.

One turn of the key would soon remind you which vehicle you are in Laughing

Exactly same spec as mine and slightly lower mileage. If I didn't already have mine that BG V8 would be gone!
