I tried different configs early on in looking for discount and thought wasn't much more with nav pro so thought bugger it tick the box seeing as over £40K anyway even if not get much more for the money as discount is covering it and will hold on to car a good few years.
List price without discount would have been just around £46K to £47ish. But have saved all cash and waited 5 years for new car. So why not have a big blow out on frivolous options if get big discount.
Would have been good to have Oryx White, but quite like Lapiz Blue as well. Will hopefully be able to let you have a nose around it this time exonian pandemic permitting.
Once you cross that psychological barrier £40k threshold and accept you’re paying an extra £325 (?) a year then you might as well just spec the car as far as you wish to go, especially if you’re going to hang onto it.
When I had my Ed40 I’d always planned the next move to be a well specced R and accepted I’d be fleeced for the pleasure. Unfortunately the mk8 got delayed and delayed and life took a different turn or three so a different path was taken.
As we move more and more towards electrification an ICE swan-song or two won’t go amiss!
It’s painful paying it in one go but it’s only £6.25 a week after all
Paying cash means the upfront discount more than makes up for the car tax.
