*RANT*

Since when has it became so difficult to buy vehicles.
In the market for a newer transporter. Got a 59 Plate just now but fancy something newer & facelift. Seen a few on ebay & autotrader, some sold & the other ones can only be sold if i take some sort of daft finance package at 4.5% flat with their recommended provider .......

Next .. I've got a C63 thats i've had a few months & fancy a shot in something a bit different .. F@@k me ... people cant be arsed to remove there ads when they've sold them, (dealers included) next ones available are supposes specialist dealers wanting fortunes for them as they demand a premium ....

**RANT OVER**

Sorry guys, i needed to get that off my chest

Has anyone else found this or is it just me ?

Ah yes the old "Sorry that ones sold, but let me have your details anyway" trick, very annoying.

I'm trying really hard to avoid dealers, i was involved for a while with a few of them & i know every trick but it seems that the dealer group buyers are just hoovering everything private up. I just want to turn up, if i like the car, pay the guy & leave with it.
I suppose its the way of the world now.

Some (not many) VW Commercial centres are really good and will look for one for you. The one we used in Preston was good when we were after a California.

Shout if you need any pointers - most stuff is better in the newer ones but not everything. A few things seem to go wrong in most of them.

We used eight dealers when looking for the M135i, six when looking for the 335d (ages ago); playing them off each other seems to make them work harder.

I can't be bothered with private sales and buying any more.

Thanks Mattee. Put a deposit on a pre-reg trendline this morning at Jct600. Ended up all over the country today. Went to see the car i thought i liked & was kinda put off it. Didnt shout WOW. So headed cross country & seen a nice 997, so i've left them with a bid & will see what happens.
Suppose its better to actually just take a day out

A van and possibly a 911? Not a bad day!

What engine did you go for? Sounds good!
