I bought myself a new toy to play with 
it has 1.4 16V, 74kW sport. awesome motor, great equipment. like a small cupra :wink:
we went to buy it with my father, we travelled abroad, to germany, 300kms and the story is quite unnerving.
need to say, that the sellers behaviour was great and I am really thankfull for that. If this would have happenned in czech republic, they would have said that they repaired it and then sell it to someone, who wouldn't notice. (that actually really happenned to me once)
so we came, looked at the car, I had a joyride and then I noticed that the cooling liquid is leaking. They thought it's just the tube as there were some rat bites and it just needs some taping. But they found out that the coller needs to be replaced. they ordered two, from two different stores, to make it as quick as possible.
The cooler was supposed to arrive at 16:00. it was cca 12:30, and the office is closed by 13:30. so I was offered to sign the contract, go to the office, to get plates and all the necessary stuff taken care of, and then pay for the car. that itself is awesome, right? it totally couldn't happen in my country.
then another problem occured - I wasn't able to get the plates I needed, so I had to go with plates that are illegal in my country, risking a big fine and a year without my driving license...
and then, finally, after this exhausting day, I arrived home, and looked through the papers. and I found out that my new WHITE car, has a BLUE color in it's papers. I thought I bought some white stolen car, with papers from some blue car, probably not existing anyore.
in the moring, my friend googled better than me, and found out, that it is canica blue color, the blue is so light that it appears white. I had no idea, I've never seen it in my country. I've found out that it's named after those glass thingys that we used to play with, when we were little.
so, finally, everything is fine, car is awesome, and I can't wait to have it on legal plates with all papers needed in my country, after all the necessary servis, so I can drive it and make it look the way I want
