I spoke to the guys over the phone just now and I have just been admitted to
@Snowy77 's Small Violin Club
i'm being pragmatic about it as it means my settlement quote for my existing M3P will obviously reduce (after having made a further two payments), and who knows? We may even get some improved config! (I know there is a greater chance of pigs flying).
However, my trade in valuation expires on 11th April so I'm slightly annoyed about that. The chap I spoke to on the phone was a lot more helpful than the others and he said I would be contacted closer to that time to revise the valuation and he has had instances where the value has actually gone up! (obviously not promising anything, and i'm not expecting this - but as a current M3P owner, with its upgraded bits, what a bonus it would be if that did happen
).
Anyway, off to complete my SVC (Small Violin Club) membership form...
