I hate cracks in the leather, especially on my beautiful 2-tone b&w seats

Over here it's completely standard. M3's and C63's are super exclusive and they don't want 18 year-olds with an -88 corolla raping it on the streets. Obviously, since it's your dad i would imagine it would be a different situation given the age and presumed maturity of said man.
I wanted to test-drive and M3 and he wanted me to agree to buying it for a certain price if i liked it before letting me go out I decided not to take it for a spin. Some people just do not know how to sell cars.

haha crazy. Did you also spend to buy a custom license plate? Some of our N.A. members might not realize that there are auctions for custom plates... these plates can fetch thousands of dollars easy

I actually had a test drive in a C63 coupe without a deposit before I ordered mine and yes they do act like c63 was exotic ! it is true that a lot of people buy their cars without a test drive in HK but not me!

BTW, vessproms, if your dad wants a test drive in a C63, I'll try and match him up with my salesman !

I studied in England, UK and normally live in HK now!

On the other hand, sorry for side tracking on this thread! I was just demonstrating the equipment and price difference between NA (esp. US) and the rest of world !
