ooooh don't know what to do. brg is my fave, but my dealers offered me a deal on a nice blue and silver one, but without the leather seats which i could have now. If i order one and spec it up myself it will be feb and i'll probably have to find a grand and a half more.... don;t what to do

minisoopercooper · Nov 29th, 2007, 04:14 PM

find the money and get what you really want - otherwise you will never be really happy.

how much for the reccaro's then?

NickyJ · Nov 29th, 2007, 04:15 PM

If you don't need to change now I'd wait until February and get exactly what you want

We're picking ours up on Saturday and although it's a launch car it's a great spec and has everything we'd have added. We didn't particularly want the sunroof but it's nice to have, especially as I'm used to the 'wind in the hair' feeling

I say wait and get what you really want - it's not that far away really

simeds · Nov 29th, 2007, 04:41 PM

its the fact that my current car isn't worth as much as i thought, and it will be even less in march, which means i'd have to stump up an extra 2k to what i wanted to spend.

minisoopercooper · Nov 29th, 2007, 04:43 PM

try the other dealers in the area mate - trade in can vary quite a bit.
It's very worth giving the car a good clean and polish before going - have it looking it's best

dlpruk · Nov 29th, 2007, 04:44 PM

Wait for the BRG - and trim the spec a bit if you have to save. But get what you want, what you really, really want!

mella yella fella · Nov 29th, 2007, 05:01 PM

I agree with everyone else,wait and get what you really desire.
but believe me,the wait will be agonising!!(but also very exciting).
in the meantime you could try selling your car privately and getting a fairer price for it.
the dealer weve ordered our clubman from was very stingy on trade-in,but in the end,after a good haggle, gave us agood deal.

wait for it wait for it

BRG looks awesome on the clubman I spotted on on recent factory tour even with a BRG roof

trust me on this one!

mister.t · Nov 29th, 2007, 05:10 PM

Id wait for the BRG - Also possible little niggles ironed out by then (if there are any R55 owners?) Waits a pain on the a*** though

We can take a photo of a BRG Clubman on Sat for you, as I know there is one at the dealers where we are collecting our Clubmando......

Less of the "even with" please.

You're speaking of the car that took me weeks to spec!

simeds · Nov 29th, 2007, 08:05 PM

tbh i really liked the blue when i saw it in the showroom, its more the lack of leather that makes me hesitate...
i'm sure mrsmeds could find something to spend the 2k difference on

Mini_Flower · Nov 30th, 2007, 09:40 AM

I'd wait too and get what you really want.

It is the same situation with me. Could have walked out with the dark silver S but chose my own spec. It will be worth the wait.

simeds · Nov 30th, 2007, 11:00 AM

oooh nooo........... just opened the post today and found out that the tax man wants 3k more from me than my accountant said

There you are, fate has weird way of working, Blue one it is

Have to say I think the blue works a lot better than the BRG, and the leather........ well you don't see it when your sitting in the car anyway! And you can have it NOW! DO IT!
