Yes, good point. The guy is after all running a business not a social services dept!

Dealers can be rather attractive from a convenience point of view. Although going private (even if the car needs £'s spent to get it up to scratch) is cheaper I have used them myself. My current 240 was bought form a dealer in Surrey, straight guy specialising in trade clearances from main dealers. I managed to haggle down the price and get him to do a number of jobs so was happy. I still paid more than private but I just couldnt source the exact model and colour that I wanted privately in the time I had available.

I bought my 940 privately as there are more about so given even the tight deadline I had at the time, this was not a problem.

For the later models I would go private every time - loads about.
