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

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.

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.
