update on 2005 p3's on ebay

[cajungirl66]

i just received my 2005 p3 today via fed ex--it is absolutely wonderful (considering my other stroller is a seven year old combi)--i paid 237.00 and that is with shipping included--the fabric is cherry cola and the one hand pull to close is a snap--it was delivered in three days after i was the winning bidder--hope someone can benefit from this--michelle

Thanks for the update. I just bid on the 2005 in Safari. Glad to hear you had a good experience.

Who was the seller on ebay? I am going to buy a 2005 P3 also. And how do you like the Cherry Cola? I am considering getting that one, but I really would like to see it in person. I don't think any stores near me will have it though. Is the trim a plaid? And is the red an orangy-red? Thanks!

the seller is scoobygoodboy snd he lists the cherry cola as red/beige--i am actually loving this fabric as it appears a little more subtle than the metallica--i do not find it to be orangy--more like a matte red--the trim is hardly noticeable but it is intermittent stripes of red and greyish black. i just checked his listings and he has a cherry cola going for 199 with 30 dollar shipping--bidding ends in a couple of hours--but he will likely relist--if you would like me to email you a couple of close up pics i would be happy to--

I would LOVE for you to send me some pics. My e-mail is jillgraham@carolina.rr.com. I was concerned that the ebay sellers might be selling European versions of the P3's, but it sounds like you are very happy with your stroller. One more question - what about the beige fabric - do you think it will get dirty easily? Thanks!

Did your P3 come with the universal car seat adapter strap? I am thinking of bidding on one from the same vendor but it's not listed in the features and I'd like to use the stroller with a Graco Snugride. It is my understanding (from other posts on this site) that some of the earlier shipments of the '05 P3s did not include the strap. Thanks! --Shan

i do not have the strap-- i am not sure what it would look like and hope that i didn't throw it away-- it does not look like its pictured in the manual (which is minimal)-- my daughter is out of her snugride but i tried it and it seems to fit--just does not lock in--anyway i wrote an email to perego to find out if it is available for purchase--michelle

just wanted to let you know that i emailed perego and i had extremely quick service--they asked for some info located on the stroller and are mailing me the universal car seat strap--at no charge!! so if you do happen to get a 2005 w/out a strap it does not seem to be a problem getting one--michelle
