LMFAO...you cock jockey :lol:

Instead Gee.

Must say that the dealer and the finance package are quite impressive - Alfa are currenty subsedising these at the moment with quite good discounts!

P/Ex was VERY easy aswell.

Lets hope the aftersales service and any "possible" issues are dealt with as easily - made it QUITE clear that I woudl have no fooking about if there are "issues"

Make sure you think twice and read all the small print well before you sign. So delivery date written down, no price changes, etcetc.

Make sure also you shop around a bit. Some dealers just do very different deals than others and getting a cash price and then financing through a different company could save a lot.
I just got a cash price on that S8: list 76K, cash 61K... But is you finance it, you do not get such discount...

If you gto some cash, buy a boat in US, import and sell again in Europe.

Know a Cobalt 29'. 1998 boat that costs approx 16000,-GBP to buy, incl. import tax (1.5%) into Europe. Add a few thousand for transport etc, but then look at the fact there are two for sale in Europe for 52000,-GBP...

Nice penny to be made. If my cash were not stuck in an army of custody lawyers...

The Evo may have been fast, but it had rock hard suspension, a cheap interior and was unreliable.

...and the dealers were useless!

You both sounds like two old ladies wingeing ! :rofl:

It's funny as I never broke down with the Evo (I did have a few probs with the scoob). The Subaru dealers are a bunch of gangster, in group !

As for the driving experience, I admit it's an enthusiasts piece of kid. Not for doodling around, cruising or commuting.
Still love it though.

Anyway the saga rages......

The black Spider looks like a no no.....I found a white one in Knutsford and await a call tomorrow...

Moving on I am also booked in to see a A4 cab in Bournemouth on saturday if the white one does'nt come off!

If neither of the above happen...I am officially giving up for 6 months(will be spending the money on beer!) untill a few more 2 hand ones appear :roll:
