2.5 or 3 litre

Don't forget that in general the 3.0 comes with higher levels of spec. And being the top non ///M model buyers tended to invest more in options.

Looking to the future then3.0 will always be the more sought after. Look at any classic cars and see which are retained and shown

All said if you find a 2.5 in the right spec and your price range, well maintained, then go,for it.

If you're asking the question now, then if you buy the 2.5 you'll still be asking the question

3.0 all the way

Don't discount higher mileage cars, low miles doesn't equal well maintained, especially on the stock service schedule.
