Evening all! I’ve just put a deposit down on a JCW Paceman (the ultimate in marmite cars!?!?) and although excited by the prospect, I don’t feel we’ve ‘gained’ through our 2nd hand buying experience. We went in with no trade-in, paying in cash (well, bank transfer) so am I just a bit too old school where you feel like there should be some form of enticement involved, a wee deal, bargain, treat or even money off? Obviously we could have just walked away and not signed on the line for the car but I’m honestly fed up looking and this one ticked all the boxes except the paintwork, it’s going to have to go to a detailers once we get our hands on it.

Has anyone had any good experience with buying second hand cars or do you only get treated well when you buy new? (When I got my first mini new there were some nice wee accessories and bits and pieces provided as well as a full tank of fuel).

Anyway, still looking forward to picking it up!
