I think the salesperson is having you on - shop about and consider second hand. PS - if your worried about depreciation - buy a mini.

Tell me about it. Ordered ours Feb 2003 with a suppposed June 2003 delivery. Got it beginning of Oct eventually.

Alfa compensated us ok though

after giving them plenty of grief.
