People are reluctant to buy private for some reason, but my trade was more than acceptable. I could probably get only about 3-4k more myself. Of course the dealer was about to put a bit more on it.

Wooohooo party time in Joe's place on Wednesday! Just 2 more sleepless nights congrats

Btw, I showed your 135 to my missus on no less than 3 occasions but no bite. Pity that the dealer is going to make a steal from your good work on that car

Very true about the reluctancy to private purchasing..

In the end just hammered the dealer for a last minute deal, eventhou the trade in was never part of the original negotiations..

AND it is about bloody time! I am really happy for you mate, given that you were one of THE first in the queue and were "managed" backwards in same shortly afterward, by some dodgy BMW sales manager (notice I used lower case there for sales manager?

).

Anyway, enjoy your delivery, take some photos and get out on the road! ENJOY.

Yippee! Congrats Joe, you must be feeling like it's your 18th Birthday all over again...

hehe

Also well done on the quick trade-in. I guess AR made up the long wait for you in another way...

Dibs on test driving your Vert when it hits their used car showroom.

congratz you will love it, post photos i'd like to see more of VO

gazz · 10-31-2011, 12:06 AM

Wait till you hear the cold start. Your neighbours will certainly hear it. Get the dealer to pre order the fluids for your FREE first service. Gearbox, engine and diff. The gearbox oil is special and in limited supply. And don't be disconcerted by a few clunks and whirs from the diff, especially whilst new. And check the delivery tyre pressures, they may set them to runflat pressures. And....oh never mind you'll sort it out. It is a fantastic car and we expect a personal assessment and comparison with the vert.

on your cars.

Enjoy THAT moment on Wednesday!!

My cold start as it is, wakes the dead with the custom midpipes..
Cant wait for the first start of the engine.

I have already spoken with the dealer and informed him that there is NO WAY that I will be paying for the first service..

Thanks for the advice Gazz.

Congrats Joe! Nothing beats picking up a new car! Especially if it's a 1M! Moreover, good stuff managing to snag a good trade-in deal with the 'vert. Obviously it's a car they think they can on-sell which is testament to how good it's been looked after. Who knows, the new owner may end up on here!

Looking forward to seeing your car in person at some stage at a photoshoot session- never seen VO live!

Great to hear Joe!!!

alik01 · 10-31-2011, 04:27 AM

Congrats Zuzu! Finnnnnnallllyyyyy mate! Been such a long time and I was even getting pissed off at your dealer!

You'll absolutely love it and it'll all be worth it very very soon!

Also, glad the vert is all sorted.

Congrats again mate - so excited for you!

Thanks.. Was considering keeping the vert for the wife, but have our daughters wedding in 4 weeks and every penny counts at the moment.
