This was a one-off for me though Mobby. It would NEVER have happened under normal circumstances.
It is the only new car I am ever likely to have bought and that is because after paying for it on credit for five years and forking over 28 grand in total, it will still have cost me over £3k less than the £31,305.00 list price.

Yeah, second hand ones are such bargains. You can get em for less than 10K.
I've heard of two examples of people selling off cars to get one cos they like the rumble and the practicality and the driving style.
One dude was an M3 owner who wanted a 4 door with personality and potential.
Another was a TVR owner who wanted the same and needed a 4 door and loved his V8s.
They are such great all rounders and lovely cars to drive.
The only downfall apart from fuel consumption is that they get you banned.
