I'm currently looking at buying a 2010 onwards L322. I have a budget of around £15k and there seems to be a good choice at this price point.

The cars I've been looking at seem to be Vogue, Vogue SE, or Westminster levels, but I've been unable to determine the standard equipment that comes with each of these spec levels. Does anyone know the difference in each level?

The Vogue is a lower spec than the Vogue SE. The big giveaway are the seat temperature controls on the central console... The Vogue only has heated seats, where as the Vogue SE has heated and chilled seats.

IIRC - The Westminster was introduced later as more of a 'Run-out' type model. It has all the 'toys' the VogueSE has, the difference is in the type of leather, stitching & trim.

I bought a 2012 Westminster 2 years ago and tried to do some research on trim levels. As mentioned, the Westie was a run out model, and as far as I could establish, not all have the same trim level. eg mine does not have adaptive cruise nor adaptive headlights, but think the SE came with those. Best to establish what is important to you as a spec and look for a car with that spec.

A good resource is fullfatrr.com to get more info.

As has been said, Westminster was the run-out model only used in the latter half of 2012. Some are equivalent to Vogue, others Vogue SE. I found that Vogue SE has much better spec than plain Vogue and there wasn't anything extra that I noticed on the odd Autobiography. Also, even Vogue SE and Autobiography models can be had with extra options but not all the options are available in the base Vogues. Some of the features to consider and decide whether you want them or not are adaptive cruise, auto headlights, blind spot monitoring, forward collision alert, rear seat entertainment, heated and cooled front seats, heated only or heated and cooled rear seats, power reclining rear seats, 4 zone climate control, deployable side steps, remote timed heating, heated steering wheel, surround camera system (as opposed to just reversing camera). Almost all the rest are standard even on Vogue, SE adds a few of the above (adaptive cruise, heated and cooled front seats) but not all so check the spec and the features you want very carefully.

Don't forget leather headlining in Autobiography.

Thanks all for the detailed replies. Now I just need to find one in the right colour, with the right options, preferably without window tints.

I've heard this from a few places. Seems there are problems registering at the moment, but I will hopefully have an account soon.
