What have I done?! Deposit down on a QP

[[TM]]

Hello everyone,

Having bored my friends stiff with various thoughts and attempts to join Trident ownership - I have just put a deposit down on this:

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...ng-location=at_cars&model=QUATTROPORTE&page=1

Drove it yesterday - honestly very surprised at how sharp the turn-in was, how great the ZF box is and how nimble it felt given the its size - fingers crossed the inspection comes back clean... Now what are all the terrible ownership mishap stories I should hear?

It would join the fleet as quite a contrast to our Honda S2000.

Looking forward to getting to know the car - and you guys - all better over the next few hears of ownership (hopefully)

Cheers

TM

That does look nice and a good price for an 09 with 31k on

Looks very nice. Don't worry, you'll get over the "what have I done?" feeling once you've sat behind the wheel and driven for a bit. That said I've still got a big grin almost a year into ownership

Pics when you get it ...

Welcome to the QP club....lovely example. Good price too for that year/mileage.

Don't worry about any negatives as the positives will far outweigh those.

You can't take it with you so enjoy it.

That looks really nice! Well done!

Looks great - well done. Can't think of any negatives.

 

[Ebenezer]

Lovely - Inside, brake calipres and wheels identical to mine! Hope the inspection works out

Thanks everyone - keeping everything crossed will hopefully get some good shots up for you on here in a couple of weeks!

There is only one negative and thats you have to wait to collect the car. Im sure you will have miles of trouble free smiles ahead of you.

Your unlikely to get much sleep the night before collection.

Welcome along and enjoy the car and the forum.

Congratulations & welcome along, that does look like an excellent buy and the sun's out for you too - happy days & enjoy!

Welcome to the QP clan, and a good choice, I think. I seriously considered this car in the summer when I was looking (but never actually went to see it in the end). It was on at £22,995 for a while and then they put the price UP to £24,995 in September for some reason.

Welcome - looks a great car - really think the qp is a brilliant looking car. Enjoy!

Hi guys

Thanks for all the messages - we picked the car up today! Delighted with it so far - the sound is very infectious and even in traffic it is just a fabulous place to sit...

Here she is - with the wife!
