Probably the dealership in Pentwyn beginning with a 'C' probably, if I'm not mistaken.

Interesting to hear that someone offered to cover the 3% commission charged to the dealer for using the card! However, I thought it was more than 3% for Amex (more like 5%), as VISA/MASTERCARD is around the 2.5%, is it not?

P.S: dnw - If your over 6 feet tall, and the driver is 6 feet tall (when your sitting in the back) you can forget sitting in the back of a 1 series! One of the reason's I cancelled my preorder for the '1' a few weeks ago after sitting in one.
