No thanks harry.
2.9 too thirsty for me, ideally looking for a 2.3.
thanks again

I shouldn't discount a 2.9 12V so rashly. Aye it uses a wee bit more fuel, but you might save money elsewhere because of the un-burstable engine, and the less fiddly electrics. I have a 2.3, but I think I would now consider a 2.9 12V if going at the buy for the first time again.

I remember looking for a 2.3 after deciding on a Scorpio, but they were 50-70% more expensive at the time, so I ended up with a 24V Ultima.

There is 6-7 mpg difference twixt 2.3 and 2.9,but that lovely low torque range of the 12v makes the difference worth it,and as PJ says,such a wonderful strong low stressed lump.
GOZZ.

I am going to be selling my 1997 P reg 2.3 ultima soon (don't want to but cash is tight and I have got to get a new van for work). I am in the north west of Scotland, a long way from Bristol. Let me know if you are interested. PM me if you want my phone number.

Thanks for all the replies, did eventually find and buy a 2.0 16v Ultima saloon, P reg 90,000 miles, everything works as it should, no rust not even to rear arches. Happy days.

Well done you! The 2 litre is still highly rated here I think, in some ways more advantageous than the 2.3
