    Totally agree with you Lucas and what tigger has said, the colour choice and body style makes it really challenging to sell.

    I didn't dare perform even the slightest modifications to the car due to the fact that if it came a time for warranty claims, I'd be trampled all over by the dealer indicating that I've void my warranty and I'm not good with confrontation, so I wanted to avoid that at all cost. I had big plans to mod the car too but only after the 5 years warranty was up, and I realized I couldn't bear another 5 years before sorting the issues out, partly due to me being very heavy footed.

    Unfortunately for me, time has run out. Dealer has rang saying car should be ready for collection as early as tomorrow or as late as Tuesday. So I guess this thread will be closed in the next couple days without a sale. Bummer.

    I think it's the colour & the body.

    I really loved the thought of steel grey but when I saw I didn't see it as a long term love.

    Sedan body - the wagon is much more popular

    ^^^ this! You can reduce the axle tramp really easily.

    It will be interesting to see what trade-in they give
