Still sitting at anchor and now the Amber Arrow is on it's way to port.
Oke who is coming up with all these names hahaha it is a bit like the person naming the storms but then more crazy ;)
Only naming horses at horse racing is worse ;)

Well Amber Arrow sounds fast and organized!

Yeah, she is finally underway and heading into port.
I am about to start the 3 hour drive to Brisbane in about an hour.
I am going into Ignition this afternoon to discuss trade in and Ceramic coating.
Sadly my Grenadier won't be there but let's see what else is.

I had an interesting trade-in discussion with my Ineos dealer, they offered me $41,500 as I was a special "foundation" customer. That afternoon I tried Car Sales Instant Offer, they came back with $49,800. Car was inspected and offer confirmed next day, dropped it off (another car dealer nearby) day after and money in bank within 48 hours.

Could have got more if selling privately but could not be bothered dealing with the great unwashed.

The initial estimate I got for my trade in was about $42k which was pretty good, then when it was time to do the deal it dropped to $32, I sold it privately for $39k but to be fair to them the market is all over the shop at the moment its a dog’s breakfast.

Mobile phone failure? But surely his wife has one. 📵
Assume with his knowledge he could make one ;) haha
I saw there was a moment where is account got blocked but then released but now his whole profile is private, maybe pissed off the wrong person?

That’s good news for your dealer. Hope you get acquainted with your Beast soon so it will be good news for you.

Well ..............
My vehicle is still sitting at the port.
However I just made the final payment of $40,000
So in theory the Beast is now mine.

... did the dealer insist that final payment be made at this stage? You (and I) did previously state that we wouldn't be doing this (handing over all money until vehicle is PDI'd and ready to go)?

Appreciate that there are other considerations

I'm yet to pay, and have received confirmation that my Gren (same boat and same dealer as DaveB) arrived at the dealership yesterday. My delay in payment is not as strategic as yours, Sam ... I simply haven't finalised my finance material yet.

Yep, everyone's different... just curious.

My concern was more related to paying in-full and then finding out that there's weeks of delay in delivery because the dealer has to rectify [insert latest Ineos gremlin] and requires parts to be sent to [insert name of galaxy far far away]

Yeah I reckon it's a very sensible reason to hold-fire (case in point was Tazzieman). The desire to get my grubby hands all over it, is just too much to show restraint.

No.
Initially I told the dealer that I wouldn't pay until i had seen it and he said that was ok
I just decided to go ahead while I had the cash sitting in my account so i didn't spend it on something else.
