I cant say much about the prices as the market has changed somewhat, but what I can say as a mid 20's Plus Six owner is choose your Plus Six wisely, we purchased ours with just 800 miles on its clock, but it took almost 18 months of dealer and factory input to sort the car as it should have been when it left the factory. You need to look carefully and in some depth at the cars history, what has been done to it, have the radiators been changed, has it had the swirl pot fitted and the latest ECU changes etc, check the suspension as a few very early cars suspension sagged at the rear ( There is an excellent SSL upgrade for the suspension, but it will cost approx 2K£ fitted by a dealer ). If you want to go for a very low milage example make sure its covered by a good warranty, very low milage examples have not covered great distances, so their initial miles teething issues may not all have surfaced and you do not have factory warranty to sort them. The early cars from initial production to the end of 2020 were a bit hit and miss with their QC, some were absolutely fine, others less so. When you look at the car, check everything from the back to the front to make sure its all working as it should be. If you can take someone with you to look at the car that knows what to check on a Plus Six as another set of impartial eyes is a good thing when buying. From about mid 2020 things did start to slowly improve on the QC side. My comments should not put you off buying an early Plus Six, as its a great car, but you do need to make sure the one you purchase has been fully sorted.. A sorted Plus Six is a joy to drive, just treat the go switch with a little respect when its damp.. like riding a high bhp motorbike from the 80's.. We love our Plus Six and it always gives us many "smiles per mile" it will poodle along when touring or turn into a rocket when asked.. I honestly would not change it for the latest revision.
