I don't think there is much difference in spec other than 'Terrain Response', 16" wheels, maybe aircon instead of climate control and probably no parking sensors, no auto wipers and auto lights.

S doesn't have terrain response or cruise control (reason I bought a GS). GS manual should be about the same price as S auto, if that's relevant. |

My point was that an XS for 14k should be attainable, if you are willing to go private. I'd sell mine to you but Glasgow to Monmouth is a fair trek!

you can get an 07 hse for 14k! 60k ish is nothing! When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car |

I bought the S model when I bought mine about 12 months ago because it was around £1k cheaper than any equivalents (age, mileage, condition) I could find in a higher spec.

A pal of mine just bought at auction a low mileage"S" 08 plate in black for £8,500. HSE and GS fetched (his words) silly money at the same auction. Moral of the story is don't pay big money for an "S", 99% of buyers will never use the capabilities of Terrain Response but 99% of potential buyers would like to have the capability hence the above car remaining unloved until my mate Roy came along.
