probably they said they would ring me back about now, do you suppose they are hoping I will ring them so they have the upper hand?
In July I bought a coupe from Sopers in Lincoln.Did the deal over the phone including a part exchange on my mini clubman.Its a good way to get the best coupe you want. It meant travelling but we collected it and added on a few days break in Lincoln. It was a 200 mile journey.Staying for a few days meant if I found anything wrong I could take it back in.I agreed with the garage that if I found anything wrong I would not complete the deal,the same applied to the clubman. Dont worry about the distance if it means you get the right car.

Thanks, yes I always prefer the look of a Z4 to just about anything else for the money, I just thought it would be nice to have something different. But at least i know what to expect with a Z4. The Boxster sounds a money pit and not very reliable, where did porsche gain their reputation for reliability?
Can't wait untill weds now

Maybe you are right, but I needed to know before they closed, and when I rang the receptionist said he was busy with customers even before I gave my name so he may have genuinley been with someone?
Anyway the price was good (for a dealer) the right age and mileage, the price I got on my car was rubbish, but the reasons are mine does not have run flats, so they have to fit 4 tyres, my alloys are rusting, plus prices do seem to have dropped the last couple of days on roadsters, I confirmed this by checking parkers and my car is worth about £800 less than a few days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I got fed up looking on the internet for cars so at least i have the car I want
Sounds ace, what's the full spec on it?

You didn't hang about! Congrats on your new baby....colour?
Ha ha I know it seems that way but I have been looking every day for about 3 weeks now, almost giving up hope of finding a new(ish) manual car. It's Carbon Black with Red Oregon leather. 13K on the clock registered in Feb 2009 so just over 1 1/2 years old.
Can't wait i don't think it has sunk in yet as a bit surreal buying over the internet/phone rather than going into the stealer. I almost purchsed a private 58 plate yesterday but at the last miniute notices some dodgy paintwork, it may have been easy to sort, but I got cold feet with the whole private sale thing and backed out even though the HPI checked out OK.

Thanks for that I should have really checked all this but I was mainly concentrating on the deal. Normally when you drive a car you see all these things for yourself. Glad it has parking sensors being a coupe.
Congrats on the purchase! Get some pics up asap
