Hi all, I'm close to a purchase, after a lush test drive provided by Tim at the Banbury dealership.

I don't listen to the radio particularly, mostly Spotify - how do you find the connectivity between your Android and the car, which I guess is USB and/or Bluetooth? (Information overload on the day we visited)

The Miami Blue in the showroom was perfect, but as my old dad used to say (and it's his inheritance I'm spending) don't buy new - depreciation etc... - but as you know the later models have the updated head unit for Nav and Android Auto. I'm aware someone here sells beautiful phone mounts.

A Myriad of questions runs through my tiny brain. Used versus new, updated systems versus saving a few quid.

Any advice or help is appreciated.

Thanks, Philip, Initially, due to personal circumstances, I had in mind keeping it for at least three years.

I can wait for the used stock to appear at Banbury - I'd much rather use a local dealer, other older cars are available around the country.

The rarity of the Miami blue kind of makes me hope re-sale will be easy without too much depreciation.

But, you can't do a big road trip, and a month in Provence without the right soundtrack smile - where did it all go wrong smile

First-world problems etc etc....

Seriously though, I'm much humbled to be in a position to make the right or wrong choice at this point.

Decent phone mount just below the screen and my phone does everything that the screen doesn’t do, Spotify, google maps , syri etc, yes built in car play would be great but really not a reason to buy an earlier car, mines a 2020 Legende,

Tim at Banbury is also a Legende, the only sales person I have met who genuinely cares about aftersales and follows up on any issues, you won’t go wrong with Tim, I don’t buy new cars but had my current car from him, have an R on order and A290 all because of his approach

Buy with your heart , whatever model year you buy you won’t regret it
If PH had a like button, I'd click it now - Tim and I had a conversation earlier, and we're doing a deal smile couldn't be happier.
