lol, i recently had a similar experience with something else, my Girlfriend has just bough her 1st car, its a little 1.4 vauxhall tigra, arden blue, FSH, 73k on it, nice little car actually!
anyway, prior to picking this one up we stopped in a few local car sales places, and the guy asked what we was looking for so we told him, a tigra 1.4 or 1.6.
then he turns around and goes ahhh you have trouble finding one of them, there really really rare and only made them in a 1.7...... after telling him i had viewed several in the last few days he was still adamant that we where wrong and he was right.
some people don't deserve to be in the industry there in!
