Perhaps obvio, but when you find one you like, it is worth taking an hour or so to try every button, check every warning, and examine every bit of trim. I failed to do this, and have spent some time fixing little niggles that I could have got the selling dealer to do in advance if I had paid proper attention.I'm after for some buying advice and common faults or things to look out for on the 2007/2008 Automatica's.
Also get a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist. Some will do this for free, others charge £100-300. It might throw up a worrying list of stuff, but then you know where you stand. I can tell you that the POST-purchase inspection is a very stressful experience!
Don't get swept up by the QP lust, splash the cash, throw away your return ticket and drive home. I got away with it, but still feel a bit foolish!
