1.5 passion diesel question

[seadragon]

Hiya

Am thinking of getting a 44 1.5 diesel passion but was curious how you tell the difference between the 68 and 95 bhp version, I want the 95 bhp one.

I have owned a 44 brabus in the past, also a Roadster RCR and loved them both, but now want another 44 but a diesel, anything I should be concerned about as a potential buyer?

Many thanks

Notwithstanding somebody dishonest could just stick it on, they have a badge on the tailgate bottom right as you look at it, as far as I remember

If in doubt check the V5

and I think the badge is in red so it stands out from the other , but I could be wrong

Re: 1.5 passion diesel question

If you see a decent 68 model you could consider getting a remap to 95 and beyond

Get a 68 for tax reasons and get it mapped to 110 and up still does 70mpg

iirc it's only the 68 semi-auto pulse that's lower tax!

Kate - you are always arguing

how would you know anyway.....its not like you ever got a tax reminder in the 4 years you owned the car nor did you ever go down the post office and show insurance and mot and physically pay for your car tax with real money.....

....you really should leave these kind of difficult questions to the experts.... people who have been there and actually physically not owned a car

sorry quarter-to......i'm in a funny mood!!
