What to check when buying an ex demonstrator

[hirsty]

Worth double-checking all the extras listed in the ad are actually fitted!

My 65-plate undriven demo was listed with cruise control & in the excitement of handover I didn't notice the buttons were missing from the stalk til I was an hour up the road - still not yet resolved after 10-months ...

Morning, I've upgraded to VIP membership now but the handover list is for the Ocean/SE - is that the only one there is or am I missing something?

The "collection checklist " holds the list to both models.

Aw excellent thank you @Calikev and @hotel california - so Would you suggest to send this to the dealership before we pick up our beach?

Oh really? Perhaps then I'll just pick out the bits that refer to what should come as new and send that list over to make sure there's no missing bits when we get there

If it's the Mojave Beige one, it's been in the showroom, lovely vehicle with a nice spec.

They are very laid-back in that dealership.

Hi @Jay586 i just wondered when you saw it in there last ? glad its nice - very excited!!!

 

[Jay586]

Possibly just before Christmas, might be a different one but it was the showroom demonstrator if it's the same one.

aw thats great @Jay586 thank you - we were told it had been put in a compound so i was just getting a bit worried that it had been abused whilst we've been waiting for it

Yep, don't worry, not recent. I was in & out when looking but I bought a van early Jan, so not since then. They have a few there too. It's actually a fair size dealership, it's part of the Sytner group too, so not a small parent company.
