Hello all. After much thought, lots of reading of the useful information on this forum and a rental we have decided to buy a California SE. Very exciting!
We were dithering between new or a ex demo/pre reg but thought we'd found the best of both worlds when our local dealer had in stock an unregistered 140 manual in the colour and options we wanted. So if we went for it it would effectively be brand new and we would be first owners.
However whilst we were looking at it (in person with the salesman!) their admin team went and registered it as a demo! So now they can't sell it for 3 months.
The dealer has said if we buy it they will keep it in the shed for these 3 months and will not use it as a demo.
What sort of discount do you think we should be looking for? It's list price would be around £49000 and we are being offered a 10% discount at the moment. Also I'm not sure what disadvantages being the second owner would have.
Any help/thoughts/experiences you have would be useful. I'm a bit scared of spending all this money and don't want to get it wrong!
Thanks, Alison
