Serendipity.
There are only 4 or 5 stradales in Chile and I was hooked when I saw one at a used car dealers. The salesman, about 1/3 of my age, thought he had me hooked once he started the thing up and hit the race button. Truth is, he had. So a long and painful negotiation started, in which he would simply ignore my emails and whatsaps. His car had 25k Kms, was a liitle scruffy, and had a wheel blowout that had been repaired, albeit at the MD. This went on for about a month, until I just couldn't bare to see the guy again. Browsing the internet, another car turned up, identical, but new condition, 13K Kms. Bought it for the same price as my offer to the tedious dealers and brought it home. The dealer whatsapped me a week after I got her home, informing me he had, maybe, some good news on my offer. I sent him a picture of my new car as a reply.
A sweet moment!
