I think I'm going to try and beat them down on the price and if we can come to some agreement then I'll go for it. I can afford up to another £500 which would be worth it in the long run. I know what you mean though spoon1, it was remarkably convenient, the woman went away for 5 minutes then came back saying "I've got good news..."
Greasemonkey - its been on order for 3 weeks now so I'm not that far in to my estimated 10-12 week wait. I think the leather looks good, there's a show car at my local dealer with it and it seems to be of a decent quality. I'll see what they can do.
