Yeah the forum was out of action for a day ish, all normal again.
The pano roof is something worth trying to get if you can, but they seem to be much less common in the 350 than the 500 as far as I'm seeing?
Good luck in your continued search, it will be worth the patience and you are now in the time where there's likely to be bargains....
Thanks. I have found a few with the pano roof so just need to go and see them.
From the advice earlier in the thread I have whittled down my preferences to this:
- Pano roof
- Black leather (or red but haven't seen many)
- Widescreen screen
- Iridium silver paint - 1st choice
- Black paint (Obsidian?) - 2nd choice
- Up to 60k miles ideally
- Parking sensors
- Aluminium or black ash inserts
- Bose sound
Of all of the above, I'm the least sure about the Bose part so may be willing to let that go if the rest of the car is right.
I've looked up a couple of VIN codes but I'm not sure what all the items the search returns are. For example, one of them had an item call 'Convenience Pack' or something like that.
If I shared the VIN via PM would someone be willing to translate the codes for me?
I'm hoping you're right in that now might be a good time to buy. Having looked most days for a couple of weeks now I think I have a much idea of what is out there and also recognise most of the ads. Will hopefully make it easier to spot the new ones.
Cheers all
