Today I went to try and buy a car for Kelly, soft top was a must, white was also the colour as it needed to fit in with the others

What options to i really need ?

Surely the dealer only needs to worry about re-sale if you pulled out of the transaction. I would have thought a decent deposit would solve that concern. If I can think up that solution, a dealer can too. Maybe there's more to this than first meets the eye? Limited build slots, margin per car, quotas/targets to keep up, qualification criteria, etc.

Yep! the dealer now sees my point and we are going to take a look at it again!

This thread doesn’t make sense - I think because a chunk has been edited out the original post.

Yes you're right, and I've just been told that the "M" is £10k more than the older one! so it's kind of a non starter at £175k

How £10k increase makes a difference before you spec a car !

You seem to have not bought more cars than I have had hot dinners 🤔
You must be a salesmans worst nightmare, I can hear them now sniggering to themselves " here comes the Lord of the Manor to not buy a white car "
Seems a strange infection
