I drove 3 demo cars when I was looking, and none of them were run in. All were low mileage and ragged.

I personally would be wary of an ex demo...

My 1st CTR was an ex demo, I had no problems with it. The S2000 I was looking at had only 100 miles of test driving, the rest was the managers own use( why dont I believe him) At least there is still 26mnths warrenty left on it.

24.5K sounds expensive to me.

But then again maybe 13.5K trade in is good.....

[QUOTE=Lurking Lawyer,Mar 3 2005, 02:37 PM] Yes, but the cars are 99% the same as UK-sourced cars. The differences really are very minor - certainly well worth saving

Whatever way you chop it out, that is too much to pay for a second hand car!

I'm sure Bob Gerard/whoever would transport a new one to Shetland/wherever.

It can be serviced at any Honda dealer, so I don't see the problem.

If a new one is

Hondas UK were certainly prepared to do that, when I first ordered with them. Admittedly, they charged you an extra
