Thanks mate, I made it very clear to the dealer that I wanted it polished up before collection and detailed properly, wanted to make sure the experience of picking it up was good for my wife!
Some pleasant surprises have been finding the cargo net for the boot unused in original packaging, was planning on getting one until I found it. Also I was happy the wheels didn't have any gutter rash at all. When you look closely, you can see they actually did have some rash and the dealer sanded it back and resprayed. They did a good job so it saves me the hassle.
Another one was finding it had some decent tyres on it, Pirelli's which I'm very happy about.
The service records are complete and also came with receipts from previous mechanical fixes carried out - a new alternator (about 10,000km ago) new front discs/pads about the same time.
You know the classic tale some sellers tell you about how it was owned by a little old lady? Well, this actually was lol. Her personal details are all over the receipts so it really explains why the condition is so good, it definitely hasn't been thrashed.
