My car Got one!

kgbhoy · 12th June 2007, 15:24

I have finally found a deal that I think is worthwhile and I have bought an '06 Cosmic Grey ES for £14500. Now whether this is actually a good deal or not I don;t know for absolute certainty but... I do know that another dealer was unable to match this price and actually claimed that my dealer would have to be making a loss to sell it to me at this price. This is something that I have found very interesting. Nevertheless I am very pleased with myself at the minute and my purchase is expected to arrive from England by the start of next week. I will go armed with the wiki checklist from this site to ensure that I don't have to live my own version of some of the horror stories that I've read on here... on that point is there anything else that I should be looking out for as this is a used car

Outstanding HP maybe?

I didn't mean your HP.

I was refering to the previous owner.

My pal got clobbered with that one.

No, It will have to stay at home sadly. I'm going to Avignon, I just picked it at random really. (Avignon that is)
