Thanks for the replies.

I'm planning to purchase through Specialist cars - I think there's 4-5 dealers in the group so a pretty big outfit.

If I can't get the date brought forward what about the option to purchase used with a guaranteed buy back price? has anyone explored or heard of this?

Also, if there firm on price (which they do seem to be) what about other concessions? anyone got deals on servicing? or dealer supplied accessories, etc. etc.

Thanks
Nick
