The part ex value was a little low too - got a better deal at Sunderland Pulman, but still nowhere near your deal. From Glasgow, Newcastle is on the way to Hartlepool, could've just picked it up from the dealership - either way, you got it.
No Idea how they got such a good discount! Newcastle was on the way, but only got to Newcastle rail station at 6:30 so was a no go for getting it from them at time.

No it was a full and proper order. Order placed 5th October, Factory accepted in Week 50 and built week 10.
