Need say no more in this distinguished group... The last car I bought (a Fiat Punto Sporting, of all things .. Tut!) was good fun. Having established that I was not going to get a discount for cash from the salesman ("we don't make any money that way..."), I jumped at the chance for 500 quid off the price to take their "90 day to back out if you don't like it" HP scheme ... Which I paid off immediately :) I also got 700 quid more than the market value (probably about 300 quid) for the 1993 Hyundai Scoupe I traded in! Punto Sportings of that vintage are *still* shifting for the price I paid almost two years ago. Bargain! ... It's a fun car too, but I'm not sure I like being told it's a "sweet ride" by Burberry cap wearing types in Halford's car park ("Does it look like my f'ckn car? It's my wife's, godammit") :)))) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
