Trade price car, I have been trying to buy it since 9am. Hard going.
They had a Sport a few months ago which they listed as Sytner Select then must have realised it was actually quite nice and it reappeared at Graypaul for £3k more money.

I thought it looked particularly good value, it is in one of the finest colours after all, not to mention having the correct number of seats
Don’t know the colour other than it being grey. Been waiting since 9 for spec and details.

My parents live around the corner if a sleuth is needed, although the likely response would be “there was a nice red one too” and no more details beyond grey!

Wonder if it will reappear soon?
Or maybe someone got up a bit earlier than 9 and beat you to it !

I was very fortunate to spot this last night doing my daily refresh. Called them up at 9am and have put the deposit down unseen, they have subsequently sent a video through and intend to get there Saturday to have a look. Dicky - apologies we were after the same car, I promise I did see it off my own back last night and was not surprised to see a thread was started on this one! If for any reason I do not proceed I will give you the heads up to step in.

I am told the car has a new clutch and was serviced Feb, pads and tyres (P Zeros unfortunately) I am told are low on wear. On the face of it it seems a good price so fingers crossed condition in person is good. It comes with a 1 year warranty although this is with Warranty Wise, I don't know much about these but I am sceptical of third party warranties being of huge use.

I would appreciate any advice anyone has on inspecting the car. I am aware subframes are a big one but being honest I am not sure if I will know what to spot....is it as simple as getting it on a ramp and looking for any corrosion? Seems like a big recommendation here is to get these sealed asap. I will also be looking closely at the discs.

In my mind I always had the intention of getting a PPI, is this not needed buying from a main dealer?

PPI is always a good idea. It will give you some peace of mind, but no guarantees. I skipped it on my dealer car with warranty, but i missed one or two things i think a PPI would have found.

@MA53RAT congratulations and don’t feel any need to apologise to me, I was going to buy it and list it for a profit anyway! I think they must realise they’ve undersold it when I, as a dealer am happy to buy their retail car. Sounds like you’ve got a good deal, all I would ask is that it’s had 2 MD services, and has a clean bill of health from their workshop. That’s the reason it is such a good deal, they have to work to high standards. Is it Granito by the way?
