Opinions on these D4s
Hi all, I've started to look around for my next car and I'm fairly sure it will be a D4. I'm thinking of using a low budget and avoiding over stretching what I can easily afford to allow for some unsuspecting maintenance. I've seen these 3, which are within 2 hours drive of where I live. I'm not worried about millage as I would rather have a car that has had an easy life on a motorway over short journeys to take the kids to school.

The second one used to be an Ambulance Responder vehicle. No bad thing, would have been well maintained etc.

Thanks for the replies, how did you find out about the second one being an ambulance? I may be able to get some money off it if I can find holes here and there from the equipment that has been removed.

I googled the reg! A lot of silver GS models were either police, ambulance, LRA or highway patrol vehicles.

I went to look at the ex ambulance D4 today, unfortunately it had sold this morning! The other two are still for sale but I don't have a day off work for a while now.

I would stay away from an ex ambulance responder vehicle, I work for the service myself and see what a hard life these vehicles have. They are really thrashed as spend most of the time on blue light response, so turbos, engine and suspension will really have been hammered, not to mention various holes in the roof that will have been filled and painted.
