| Good or bad deal? Just looked at a silver vrs 54 nov'04 with esp,xenons,cruise,parking sensors with 8700 on clock for £13k.Managed to get then down to £12,200 with six months tax.Is this a good price or do i buy a new one with the following for £14,300 silver,xenons,cruise,heated seats and air-bag switch. Car drove ok apart from brakes were very jerky.Not that wooried about that as its got 2 1/2 yrs warranty left.What did you think new one or is s/h one good price. |

The decision was easier for me - the dealer i saw wanted 13k for a year old with 600 miles on the clock (he seemed to think it had 2k worth of options - sunroof, cruise and parking sensors - i only made that about £1k) and wouldn't budge. I paided the extra and took the new. Either way - ENJOY!!

| You can get new for £12999 pretty easily, try www.motorpoint.co.uk, some of their stock have parking sensors, get the cruise retro-fitted for about £150, and forget about the xenons !

| Decided at last? Buying new one.Looked into motopoint deals,but found them not to be that good.Imported from malta or cyprus.You only get 2years warranty from date they 1st reg.Been told 3rd year is valid in county they are 1st reg.12,995 is not on the road 300 pound on top of that price.All pre-reg as well.Found local dealer who will match drivethedeal price.£13.998 for new one with the following-silver,xenons,cruise,air bag switch,heated seats and will fit mudflaps f.o.c. Happy with that deal....Only problem none in the country?????? Going to pay deposit and should be here just in time for sept reg. Last edited by jaymd; 23-05-2005 at 22:48. |
