any advice for a prospective p38 owner

hi, have just joined as i have been looking at buying a p38 for the past couple of weeks - have decided to go for a 2.5dse but cant decide wether to go for an 97 P/R reg for about £5/6K leaving myself £2/3K to spend on it in the future or to go for a 99 T/V for about £8/9K blowing all my hard earned cash in one go

I,ve had a good look around this forum , so i know what to look out for as far as suspension, electronics, service history etc goes

I am going to look at a couple tomorrow - a 97 P 2.5dse with 92k on the clock & full wood kit with fsh for £5995 and a 99 T 2.5dse with 87K & fsh for £8495

any advice would be great

Hi, and welcome

Leave your self sum cash to spend on it!
