I've got a DGM sport for sale. Looking betwen 6 & 7k. It's a T reg, done about 36k miles of the top of my head. Very good condition all round. Only thing wrong with it is 2 *** burns on the rear seat although everyone who's been in the back has not noticed them!
Comes with the Standard alloys which were badly kerbed when I got it, but I've recently bought some very nice 17s that need 2 tyres. Im sure they could be chucked in though
Offers around that price range.
Cheers
Ben

Edited to note that it's front discs have been upgraded to vented, drilled and grooved with greenstuff pads.

Scottlouise Like every else after a sport, we're only getting one because we can't afford to insure / run a Turbo!
Gutted or what!!!!

By the way anybody have anything to say about running cost comparisons between a Sport and a Turbo??

Sport servicing seems great price wise for me.
costs an average about £200 per full service.
Dont have to change oil every 3,500 cos no turbo fitted
or have to use an oil of higher spec.

I have had my Bridgestone RE720'S on for 30k now, still loads of tread.
The service costs can increase/decrease a lot depending on your driving style, ie if you want to corner at otherwise excessive speeds in your Toyo proxes, you will spend a lot more on tyres.
If you run higher octane fuels, i believe the engine runs hotter,
you may have to change oil more frequently.
