Now that I've received a half decent offer for my car, I thought I should see one up close.
I went to a nearby garage and looked at one. At £30k it was overpriced. (White 2011 mc shift 44k) so I never intended to buy it.
Turning up, the garage looked a bit dodgy and scanning the yard there was no GT, just a tired E46 M3 and one of those modern Mustangs things(no offence) I asked and was told the sports cars are kept indoors. (Ooh.. I thought)
Anyway, found the car tucked away with other exotica, (most stuff under wraps). TBH, the car looked rather sorry for itself in the corner in the shade. The man agreed to move it out, well, at least try, but he couldn't. Admittedly, there was a slight hump but the car wouldn't budge.(handbrake seized?) Eventually he gave up and said I'd have to come back.
Looked inside as there was little else I could do. It was cosy, being used to saloons. The rear seat was quite spacious in terms of legroom, though headroom was a bit limited, and the seat snug.
Noticed the carbon fibre bits were looking quite tired(glazing over?). The doors were enormous and didn't shut very well, unlike a German car.
I wasn't impressed. Oh, and it was an auto, when it was described as a MC shift.
Hopefully the next will be better.
