The CL is going to have to go one day so live a little buy the GT you won't regret it, they're good fun to drive aswell I found

you'll have to insure it as well, though, and update the MOT before driving if you leave it a while

you could get a tax refund though

Get the GT

yeh i wood say get the GT!

Have u ever driven 1? if nt u should ask 4 a shot, then ull no if its worth swapping ur CL for the GT.

R they in similar condition? ie bodywork & milage?

same age, the gt is alittle higher on milage but only 12k more. it seems nice last owner has had it for last 7 years

I know what I'd do!

Take the GT out, see what you think!

12k is nothing, seriously.

Take it out for a test drive, you've nothing to lose, and you'll probably want it afterwards!

yeah like Alex (Krupa) said 12k is nothing if you can afford the insurance, get the GT.

The engines can take a beating (as my engine has found out). Just need to give it a good servicing.

the GT is soooo definately worth buying.

If you regret it, i'll eat my hat

CL's are about group 5/6 I think. The GT is group 8. The GT's MPG is very good if set up nicely.

How old ru and how many years NCB have you got if you don't mind me asking?

Gray6634 · Post by **Gray6634** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 9:29 am

26 years old and i have 8 years no claims

Petrified · Post by **Petrified** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 11:00 am

8 years no claims

you will hardly feel the impact of a couple of insurance groups, go for it. no actually get a g40

(I say this going from a group 7 to a group 17 car!)
