Didn’t realise that

Only had them on hire cars in the states. Maybe they are cooled there?

I'll update you on the "cooled" seats during that week we can expect sometime in the middle of the year when the sun shines and it gets a bit sticky :shock:

Hi Clive,

Congrats on the car... going to level with you and say I was so close to buying that car but had my reasons for not in the end.

It was originally on for £52k and watched it for nearly 3 months and negotiated the price down. It's also got an extending tow bar - hold the button in the boot.

Yes the price did come down and to the right level in my opinion so hope I didn’t leave anything on the table.

The car is so heavily optioned that there many that are not important to me, the tow bar being one of them although it is pretty cool the way it pops out and retracts.

I forgot to ask - have you now bought one?

Hope you got a good deal under 49k for the car - I reckoned it was a 47k car and we got to 50 on the phone, but I ultimately didn't gel with the person selling it.

I ended up buying OPC as I wanted a warranty on these for the transfer case on these, so that was another £1.7k including 111 point check. Plus I think the brakes needed replacing for that too - another £2k, and the major service is due very soon another £1.4k - in 6 months. It added up, which is why i needed it at 47k.

I got a PP in the end that was closer to spec I wanted. I love your wheels though. And if you're near London - would love to buy your load management rails - it's the one option every Macan buyer should spec - such amazing value.

Bit of a mega thread revival and don't think you've been on here recently MrH, but nice car sir.

Hope you and the family are well!
