You may like this. You may not. But I`ll offer.

I live quite close to you and can come and view any car with you to act as some experience. I know quite a bit about the S now and Derby is a simple journey for me.

Let me know, the offer`s there. Would be happy to help a newbie.

Thanks that would be fantastic.

I can't buy until the end of July, and there is also the small matter of getting rid of my old car! But I will drop you a mail when I am ready.

Cheers

Should I be looking to buy Private or from a Dealer?

I advise you consider private. I also advise you look at all the great examples this board has to offer as a starting place.

My advice: Buy a new one AGW.... you can source from EU for that money or add a few quid and buy in UK.
