That's 3.0 auto, the car to have is the 3.2 Ti but they are rare as rare. I reckon they will be asking £10k plus for this one.

I sold both a GTV facelift 3.2 and GT 3.2 around the 3K mark, know way a 166 can demand that money

166 is a totally different car to a GT or GTV. 3.2 Ti are rare as rocking horse droppings when new, supposedly only 49 UK cars so getting a good one now will be even harder.

They are a under-rated bit of kit

I get what your saying but price is mad and you will just may as well burn money, if you want a 3.2 get a GT, if you want a sofa buy a 3.0 166 for a grand or less

Different beasts, if I wanted a sports car it would need to be rear wheel drive (oh I have a couple of those) but as an everyday comfortable mode of transport that is a bit different a 3.2 Ti 166 is pretty close. A QP V would be a bit better but it would be more expensive to both buy and run. Other than that you are talking German and I have tried that menu and don't really like it.

Stop messing about, the 166 for sale is 3.2, but you can have a 3.0 for lots less in manual, I dont care about front or rear wheel drive in this class of saloon or GT, was just trying to point out if you want 3.2 power then the GT is the one to have, like I said if you dont need 4 doors

Anybody actually phoned them to ask what they are asking for it?
Ok done 12k since 'rebuild' but interesting to know what the car has done in total, and what hasn't been rebuilt.
Just curious!

If they don't mention true miles I would say well over 100k....if it was low then surely they would be shouting about it.
