Apparently the V6s is only about 8kg-ish heavier than the XE.... I still would like to weigh mine though. Its full interior with audio and a big fat engine so I'd expect it to be at least 950, probably pushing a ton.

~5kgs apparently. The bootlid weighs sod all compared to a tailgate, and the boot panels/structure is just a bit of thin metal and some extensions on the chassis legs lol

Sure, just let me put the old CTS back in first :d

Tailgates weigh a fooking tonne, specially the flushed POS on my Mk1 as it has a full length panel welded on top of an otherwise complete tailgate, it's an effort just to open it without the piston thingy on it lol

TBH if a garage offered me a Nova courtesy car, I'd laugh at the garage owner and then ask him where the real courtesy car was lol
