£100 is a very fair price(from your point of view ;D).

Not sure what a fair price is  how much is it up for?

Looks like a very tidy car to me but don't expect a 2.6 auto to be a rocket ship  ;)
As for money, its worth what you want to pay  :)

Why sell a car with a reg that's been valued at £400-£600 pounds Shirley if it's that much you'd sell that separate?

So cars at £700 at the moment, reg worth £600 car worth £100 no :D

If both autos go for a 3.2, there is little difference in fuel use between the 2.6 and 3.2, but the 3.2 is a lot quicker  :y

Having said that, I would have a 2.6 manual  :y
