    and returned his PX car with no hastle.
    That's probably unusual as oftentimes the PX is moved on immediately.

    Hi Guys,

    Just wanted to update you all..... many thanks for helping me last week to decide what to do about the car;  I eventually contacted the dealer directly and bought the car from them, after a Test Drive and checking the vehicle out first hand.... I am very happy with my purchase... :)  your advice was paramount in me getting the deal...

    Much appreciated..
    Regards
    Tom.

    I would sooner use the likes of gumtree and autotrader to find a new to me car. Distance parameters can be set as can make / model and numerous other finer details. Then go and physically look at them.

    Even with my just 'purchased car' I went to collect it from the dealer to give it one final look over before taking the keys. Although the option of delivery was possible, it's not something I am comfortable with.
    It's a brave new world out there and with advances in digital photography, video and the ability to return a car you're not happy with there's really no need to hamstring yourself like this.
