2. Have a new replacement car but it must be an in stock car, this leaves me only the choice of white or black and both cars have extra options so they want me to cough up more for the extra options (that I don't want).

I asked if I could have a new car built to the same spec and was told no due to the UK 2.5% VAT change and 4 month build time.

At least I have options, so give me some opinions, what would you do, would you go for a different colour??

Forgot to say mine is monte carlo blue
