I did buy a car this week (YAY!!) but not the yellow demo one. Which is sort of a bummer cause I think it would have been a fun color.
Mine is blue and I bought it on Ebay.
I tend to research things to death, and knew how much I was willing to pay for which specific year/model. I went and test drove it this past Sunday, ran an HPI check on it, etc. I have never bought anything this pricey on Ebay before, and I must admit I was a little shocked on Tuesday when I won. I am going to the bank to have the check made up today and I am going to pick it up tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for all the helpful advice/info. I am still not sure I would have bought the demo at the price the dealership was asking. Based on the multiple valuations I ran online, it was overpriced by about £1000, and when I visited the dealership, the sales guys were just as pushy/smarmy as they can be at home. I am also not convinced that demo cars are treated well, but I guess that is a risk you take with any used car. At least I have a used Honda and not a used Yugo.
