Whilst at the launch the other night, I was talking to someone about what spec they had ordered etc. They had gone for Tungsten with all black interior. What was interesting was that they also said (not quite in these words) "I'm not going to end up driving it anyway as I'm selling it". :rage:

We all know that he won't be the only one trying to make a quick buck but what I was intrigued about (and didn't get to ask him) was how he would actually sell the place (particuarly now it's specced). How would he go about it? Are dealers happy just to get a call saying "please swap Mr X with Mr Y" on their list? Is the car bought by X and then sold 2nd-hand to Mr Y with pre-arranged contract?

He made it sound as if it was going to be easy whereas I haven't managed to work out how it would be done in reality.

I can see that working as it's only a normal 'used' car sale (same as placing an ad in E&M or Autotrader etc. The eBay ads and Times etc suggest people selling in advance of collection though. Perhaps it's just a way of getting someone to handover money as a deposit ahead of time?
