However, unless they got new stock since the week before last they haven't actually got any, i put my desposit down in the morning, phoned back that afternoon to confirm details and they'd sold all three bikes they had that afternoon
thats really good value i'd love a daytona that's just a tad more than budget bike money

it's £100 more than my local trumpet dealer was asking for a 2006 model with 5k miles on it, would have preferred to buy local but they couldn't guarantee me a 2008 bike, let alone one in black or red which were my preferred colours

Apart from obvious signs of droppage...any other issues that I should be wary of (it's at a dealers)?

Thanks in advance!
