Hey Soggs shall we spec up your next people carrier here? might as well, as everyones on a roll on this thread.
Spec .. get agro.. change spec.. more agro.. then order.. see simple steps

Martin L · Jun 19th, 2003, 03:55 PM

Woohooo!!!!
There's another £2,000 just spent

I've got the white rear lights thrown in for free and they will be covered under the manufacturers 3 yr warranty and not the usual dealer 1yr guarantee

I'm getting them to make sure that I can transfer my shortfall insurance too which I totally forgot about.
Although you usually can't because of the circumstances they think I can if I pay the additional years premium as one year will have already expired

Roll on mid-September!!!! I've been given the first week in September as a build date which I guess is week 36

Speedd · Jun 19th, 2003, 03:57 PM

The trade in price is based on 12000, my car is only at 8400

You've gotta cover all bases when negotiating

Kinster · Jun 19th, 2003, 04:17 PM

Martin, you got any pics of the IB/W with white x-spokes?

Shamster · Jun 19th, 2003, 04:18 PM

I fully expect that colour choice to change before delivery.

That's why I'm going for them

They're rarer as well, so my car will look different.
My dealer's managing to do this in the chilli pack for me as I've had so much hassle with my car

I'm not too fussed I don't get a discount because I'm getting the rear white lights for free
