Yes thanks for talking the time to do that write up - makes it sound a fantastic car and just what I'm looking for.

I'm still looking for something that I think ticks most of my boxes. I have to say though I have noticed that the ones on the market in the last month don't seem to be selling. In the past month since I have been looking I think only 2 have sold (peridot green in Sterling and one at OPC). What's people's view on this - is this normal for this type of car or are they all over priced?

Nearly got one, agreed everything in principle with a great chap for what I think will be a fantastic car. Hopefully finalising and collecting the car soon and then will share some details of what I have bought!

Hi all, so I started this post off exactly a month ago so thought I would update you all as I did get rid of my 340i and replaced it with a Mini Cooper S for everyday use and a fantastic CR!
For those interested in the Mini it's a great little car having had it a couple of weeks, it was a pre reg from March this year but only 140 miles when collected it, chilli pack, full leather etc. and I think for a cracking price.
As for the CR I collected this yesterday and it belonged to another chap on here who was an absolute pleasure to buy from.
The spec for me is exactly what I was looking for - PDK, buckets, spyders, climate and PSE amongst a few other less important extras. It has 16k miles and I am the 3rd owner. It has also had Ventureshield fitted from new so the paintwork is in exceptional condition.
Looking forward to getting a few drives in during the last of the Summer weather. The drive home yesterday (260 miles) was brilliant even if I did sit on the M25 for about an hour barely moving - the PSE is brilliant and I'm really glad I didn't compromise on this.
Thanks for everyone who commented on my thread.
I know the photos aren't great, it was raining and getting dark!
Cheers,
Hamperman

Your going to have some sleepless nights waiting all week!
Can't remember the last time I went out for a drive at 10:30 at night just for the sake of it.....
