Had been on the hunt for a replacement for the C350e and decided it was time for another decent sized diesel with some poke.
Having looked at the usual suspects, 3/5 series, A4/A6/A7 etc I found myself sitting in an X3 in Prentice's one Saturday morning thinking “this is where I want to be”
They were looking steep enough money and it was only a 2 litre so off I went searching Autotrader nationwide. After a short search I found a well specced one in Phyontic blue in Chorley, deal provisionally done bar the paperwork.... or so I thought.. an hour later the dealer rang back to say someone else local had walked in with a trade in of value to him so he had to go back on his word.
Not one to fall down at the 1st hurdle off I went again, found a white one in Wales and after some negotiation deal was done, deposit paid and flights/boat booked!
The following Saturday off me and the young fella went for an early flight to Liverpool
