Getting it PPI'd on Weds, so pretty close.

Just wondering if you'd seen it in the flesh/what you thought about it & what the dealership had told you about it...

Not contacted them about it - just saw it on the 'trader and wondered if I could push the finances to it - not much point now

Will have to keep looking - from the photos it looks a stunning car though - reckon you are onto a winner if the PPI goes ok !

If you see any more let me know!

Keeping my fingers crossed but there's plenty more out there.

Like you, I've been chasing shadows for a while myself...
there's a few black/black about under 45K. I was considering them but I don't see the point in stretching finances too far & then not being able to afford to put petrol in it

Well...just got the call.

It's got 2 problems apparently:

1. Bit of red paint coming off the front calipers
2. Slight scuff on underside of front spoiler.

I'd spotted them both myself - what a waste of £275 :wink: 8)

I booked it through Mark Wibberley of sportscarguides.com...but "Andy" from Millbrook cars(I think that's what he said?) actually did it

No mate, been too busy polishing t*rds at work, but that's another story!!

I have seen one possible that I would like the forum's opinion on though - seal grey C4S, black leather, electric seats and sunroof, sound upgrade, with 72k on the clock on a 2002 plate. Up for £37.5k

Not sure if the high miles puts me off though - what do you guys think - car will be pretty much weekend use only, so it will not get a load more miles under my ownership, but slightly worried that I might get stung on resale - then again it seems to be around £3k cheaper so it could be that I can take advantage where someone else has lost?

Any opinions?
