Can you imagine the pettiness and bhing when 25% appear on the market come springtime (after a majority take delivey in winter) laugh

Just looking through the classifieds, rhd for sale, ready in August, £71k
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...

So has that gained a premium or lost money?

I was in negotiation with vvs too when it first appears on piston heads 2 months ag. They demanded 30k over!!! "no buckets and lightly specked" revisited it with them just over month ago and wouldn't accept less than 25k over list!! i just couldn't afford it plus would have always been upset about not having buckets.... justice prevailed and I received my allocation from a great opc!!

I also spoke to them and they quoted me 27k over list plus options . They said one had traded at 30k over which i laughed at !

big delays

1st cars should be here, then no buckets, then buckets, then no buckets, then only GT2 older buckets, then new buckets, then no buckets, then only buckets after sept, then only gt2 buckets, then only buckets after Oct, now any buckets but a few weeks delay, then 10 weeks delay then no buckets, then buckets, now any ones guess

Now no CTS, then CTS now no CTS, then 4 week delay, now 12 week delay but you loose buckets, then you can have buckets,then no buckets, then buckets, then no buckets, then only GT2 older buckets, then new buckets, then no buckets, then only buckets after sept, then only gt2 buckets, then only buckets after Oct, now any buckets but a few weeks delay, then 10 weeks delay then no buckets, then buckets.

now no one gets cars with buckets in 2015, then no buckets, then buckets, then no buckets, then only GT2 older buckets, then new buckets, then no buckets, then only buckets after sept, then only gt2 buckets, then only buckets after Oct, now any buckets but a few weeks delay, then 10 weeks delay then no buckets, then buckets

now 10 week delay for buckets after the 10 week delay on the car and another 12 week delay on CTS.

hope that helps !!

only way to get a car is to have yellow and sports seats :-)

I'm waiting 10 weeks for buckets then a further 9 weeks for paint to sample, it defies logic why these two delays cant run concurrently rather one after the other.

The wait seems endless, but it’s probably only half that.

My July delivery is now confirmed as September with the LWB seats, spec has locked and now just need to wait... I decided against CTS, always planned Voodoo but when I saw the car didn't think it suited lighter blue shades so have gone red in the end.
