It is a big heavy V8 saloon. For what it is, it does not seem overly expensive or too slow.

It's not that expensive. I bought mine as a 2-year-old. It's 50% off MSRP. It's not that slow either. Remember, this is a 2-ton luxury car. 13.8 in the 1/4 is comparable with a lot of 60s muscle cars. On the street I've held my own with cars costing twice as much.

Maybe in 2017 you still could buy 2 year old at 50% off but today, and especially in my country, depreciation curves are completely ****ed up and you pay shittons for few years old cars.
