So unless I'm misreading prices, I'll have to pay a £4k uplift (over a metalic & auto 2.0d) to go from a 2.0d to 3.0d, can anyone confirm if the extra power is worth it. Will the 3.0d hold it's value as much as 2.0d, or will I lose the extra £4k over the 2 or 3 years I keep the car?
Get the biggest engine you can afford. You will NOT regret it. I learnt this the hard way in the past.
