Title: Good deal?
Post by: Shrodinger's Cat on 27 November 2006, 20:02
Okay I've decided to take the plunge.  I can get an import for £20k on the road including

18" Alloys
6 CD autochanger
Front centre armrest
Cruise Control
Leather interior
Winter pack

plus any other bits they've not noticed.

Is it a good deal? :huh:

At the risk of sounding poncy, a 6 CD autochanger is a bit 1998, try and get an ipod connection.

Yeah mate I agree, but with the place I'm getting it from you don't really get a choice. :sad:

I wonder if you can get a dealer fit ipod connection when you have cd changer in the armrest? :undecided:

i belive its possible, but the armrest could be tricky/expensive.  check out the other threads on retro fit ipod connections.

You have a fair deal Cat, I paid 23.5 K for the same spec two years ago from a main stealer.
OK so part ex on an import will be lower, but if you are keeping it for a little while, it's sound  :smiley:

Cheers Hector.  Got a message this avo from the dealer asking if I was still interested and suggesting he might be able to "do something" on the price.  :smiley:

Tell him all the interest is in the edition 30 currently and get another grand knocked off - even if you meet in the middle you can use 500 for pimping :smiley:

Where are you getting it from? I'm on the look out for a decent spec import around the 20k mark!

Are Motorpoints cars speccable?

Anyone used SimpleDeal.co.uk?

Motorpoint's cars are not speccable  :sad:

I spoke to simpledeal and they seemed a decent bunch - they normally have a few cars in stock.  Otherwise simpledeal allow you to spec your car but you have to wait for it to get built etc etc... in accordance with normal build times.
