All I can add is be prepared to move quickly. Given your price range and preferences these cars move on quickly. When I bought mine it was the third test drive I had booked in one weekend. Deposits were taken over the phone and deals done before I even arrived to view the cars. However, the...

Happy birthday Ian, enjoy the day :)

Sad to say this is not a regular feature of my life and nor did I "cop a feel" - I just went on my way feeling good about myself which has got to be worth a whole lot more ;)
