Thanks everyone for your ideas / comments. Big smile

Yes, it's the Autotrader one in Carlisle.

It has the super sports seats and flat bottomed steering wheel. None of the other used BDEs I've seen have these. I've test driven cars with and without these, and IMHO they're a must for me.

Another used BDE has become available in Oxfordshire - same price but with different options, and no super sports seats / flat wheel. So maybe the upper end of the ยฃ60K bracket is what I'm going to have to spend on my dream car!

I did consider standard V6S's in other colours but the BDE package comes with a bunch of other options that would be hard to find in other used models.

I'll just be patient... for the money I need to spend (and I'm not exactly made of money!!) there's no point compromising on the options I absolutely want.


What are the BDE specific options?
I agree that the performance seats and flat bottom steering are a must.

Have you seen the BDE at Royles in Wilmslow? Steering wheels can be changed very easily!!

Thanks Wolfy.

Yes - it's one of my saved searches, but it's ยฃ2K more than the other one, so more than I can afford.

All this dream car buying may be moot now as my hoped-for-promotion / pay-rise may not be happening any time soon. I can't progress without this.

F***ing HR morons! Angry

Hi Ben,

These are probably stupid questions... Confused
  • Why do you think prices will go up? Surely dealers want to shift old models?
  • Why is now a bad time to buy a coupe?


Hi,

There is less demand for sports cars in the winter. So dealers have less people looking at there cars.
Online there are 12 BDE for sale. As the number for sale reduce over the next couple of months the number of buyers will increase. Therefore I think dealers will demand more money.
The dealers may have old models to shift, but the BDE was a limited model which wasn't discounted by many dealers so they may have had less profit in them.

Only my thoughts. I could be wrong.
