Railway motors and my dream xc 90

In May my wife decided if we can get the loan we would get our kitchen and my dream car my xc90. We have only been together 5 happy years but she knows how excited I get when We pass an xc90 which is very rare in cumbria. I had one built in 2009 the perfect vehicle only to realise the money my ex said was in place was all lies and my savings were gone. I knew one day I would have my xc90. Fast forward 10 years to may this year and started looking. I noticed this dealer railway motors always seemed to have a large stock of them. One Monday morning in May whilst at work I had to call them and soon realised that the proprietor shahraz was saint xc90s as much as I was and we discussed them at great length.. I told him I would be down at the end of June. Come the end of June I turned up and was in ecstasy seeing so many in one place. There was no pressure just a give me a shout when you want the keys for one. My dream was always an exec but saw this beautiful sapphire blue se. Great mileage full history etc. I test drove her and was in love. Paid my deposit and walked away not believing what had just happened. I was promised by my bank that the money would be available in 9 days. Excellent could pick her up the next weekend. Only problem was solicitors decided they wanted to do searches on the house despite build soc saying they were happy with drive by valuation. Then despite paying for searches they took a week to send them in and said they were taking 3 weeks to come through. I explained i had paid a deposit on my dream car but couldnt expect shehrazto keep it forever. He doesnt have a great deal of space and has so many xc90s coming in. Shehraz was disappointed as he could have sold my car many times over with people offering cash for a deal there and then but he said no it's sold. I rang and said just sell it and I accept I will lose my deposit, he then said I will honour your deposit on another car which he didn't have to do. We texted a few times after with updates on moneysituation and he 're assured me plenty more coming in but I only had eyes for one but expected to lose her. A few days before my money was promised I got a text from shahraz saying a after careful consideration and that is all I saw flash up I thought I have list her. When I read the message in full he said after careful consideration and many offers, I am keeping her for you as I know what this car means to you. I picked her up on Thursday and despite planning for weeks what cd I would play first, I was so excited and emotional driving back to cumbria, i forgot to put a cd on. What can i say about shehraz and railway motors, i cannot praise and thank him and lisa enough, wonderful people, caring and considerate and i know he must have been frustrated but with regard to looking after his customers, I cannot say how much I appreciate how he looked after me and we will do business again in the future. People read reviews and think are they real, this one is and if you want to check this review email me at anzmead at hotmail .com. shahraz thank you once again my friend I so appreciate your patience.
