But also reduced by £60 from £359 to £299 for those of us paying cash!

Well my dad's GTD was coming with "free" servicing and the dealer kind of assumed he was going via solutions when the deal was struck. When it was clear that he wasn't, the dealer asked my dad for the £110 difference between service pack price via solutions and service plan price for a cash purchase (£249/£359), with the car registered on July 1st.
The £249 offer wasn't even on when I ordered mine late March (it came in for April) and got offered free servicing (again on the assumption I was going through solutions, but now I won't be as my dad has offered to lend me the money at 2.9%-same as he's getting via his ISA right now), so if he tries the same on with me (to pay £110) i'll not be pleased. If he insists then i'll be looking to pay only £50 difference between £249 and £299 as it was always going to be a £249 (cost to dealership) freebie days after ordering.
