And Arnold Clark don't have anything in stock that you'd like and may get a better deal on in terms of trade-in?

6K.... I know you are probably way past the point where you just want rid though so the money is only a part of the consideration but that sucks balls.

Its BMW finance - i spoke to them before and they said raise an official complaint with BMW which has got us here months later. Ive not spoken to them again since. When i can muster up the energy I'm going to call them.

Another issue is the interest rates have now fucked any finance rates so im now battling that also.

Would be slightly more monthlies - maybe £60 - but doable. Brand new 0 miles car with Pro Pack and metallic paint.

That's a fun car and if the finances work so you're not writing off 6K its not a bad option and would let you put this behind you and move on.

Eta: just noted its designation: F40 ! Obviously meant to be!

If it’s ruined the experience then I completely understand but I just don’t understand how it can’t be fixed or the issue found.

Dave!
