Did you find out what was going on though?

Are you having the little "500" badge on the strips?

Regards,
Tony.

Just what I was thinking?

Dealerships are dangerous places to go when waiting for a new car, you almost always end up spending more money every time you go in!

Still week 5 apparently, listed as heavy variability, whatever that means, as a bonus I actually got some brochures.

Makes me wonder if they read this forum as the sales managers attitude was tatally different, couldn't do enough to help this time.

Have been wondering about alloys for a while & I thought the "U" spoke ones suited the classic look of the Jive Blue & chrome, as for the rubbing strips, I like the clean lines oof the car & feel the rubbing strips detract a little from this, but still look better than car doot marks down the side,

And yes, I went for the ones with the chrome 500 badge in.

'Heavy Variability' means they can amend the engine and model.

They change to 'Light Variability' about two weeks before they go into build, when only options and colours can be changed.

I checked this morning, and the two that I was happy to let you have one of are at 'Heavy Variability' as well.
