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.

I have just had my steps bolted onto my girl at the agents today at Noosa and he has about eleven Grens that arrived yesterday and are sitting there now waiting for the OZ version indicators to arrive and be fitted...they can't say how long that will be but I bet the person who has paid upfront will have priority...Not long now for the Beast

Last Thursday the sale of our house on the Gold Coast finalised and we ended up with just enough cash to pay out the mortgage on it, the mortgage on the house we are living in at the moment and to pay cash for the Grenadier.
Plus order the shed.
I figured let's just get it all done and move on.
No debts, no credit cards or loans.
Minimal living costs and a simple life.
And the Beast..........

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.

I sold my house for a modest sum
I paid off the mortgage on that house.
I also paid off the mortgage on my house in Toogoom.
I paid cash for the Beast.
I am now left with a deposit on the Beasts shed.
And a job working from home as a glorified sales rep.
I haven't been a sales rep since 1987, it amuses me greatly to know I can still do it.
I turn 61 in December and my wife turns 64 next week.
all in all life is pretty good.

I find it amusing that this week the cash flow in my bank account has been as below, but i am still sitting here in front of my computer, with a reasonable single malt, on the Ineos forum.
that's after i paid out the $817,000 on my original mortgage.
Now i am poor again.

That single malt will be so much better sitting in the back of your Grenadier though looking out at that view of yours.
