Hopes dashed

My first Surf isn't coming now! Got a call from the dealer today to say their client still isn't able to bring it in so I'm in limbo again. To give them thier due they offered me my money back in view of the delays but I supose a few more days won't matter. Will post updates.

Jeff are you after a 2nd gen or 3rd gen.I know of a 3.0l 2nd gen down here going for about 2200 with a 2" rancho suspension lift with 3 spoke chrome wheels

I would have taken the money back to be honest, I have a feeling you'll be having trouble with the truck/dealer in the not too distant future.


Client???? Are they a massage parlour?
Don't buy a Surf from a dealer, they know nothing about them.

Thanks SF. It being my first I'd get the best I could afford so going down the line of Gen 3. The one I'm on for when it finally comes available is Gen 3 and the 'rare' intercooled one taxed n tested till next March for less than £3000. low miles bars, spots and tow bar, looks great on the photo but I'm yet to get the word it's ready to pick up.

"RARE"

They are common as muck.

2.7s are rare.

2.7s are rare.

Even rarer in black, with nice wheels.

They are common as muck.

But nowhere near as common as antiquated 2nd gens ...

£3k for an intercooled 3rd gen from a dealer sounds a bit on the cheap side to be honest. Thats more the cheap end of a private sale. Make sure you go over it very carefully.

[jeffo]

I will. If I ever get the chance!
