Re: Carpathian Grey - Which Wheel Colour

Well the wheels are now in motion (pun intended). Car is away this morning in order to get the wheels finished in gloss black, as it was the last opportunity to get it done before collection just after Xmas. I've also ordered some black and chrome centre caps to replace the red, so I'll see how that...

Carpathian Grey - Which Wheel Colour

I haven't seen it in the flesh yet as I'm working away at the minute, but the deal is done and i'm just waiting to finally meet my new car in the flesh. It'll be a nice Xmas present to myself! :D It's a V8R in Carpathian (Storm) Grey. A colour that pictures rarely do justice, but I have seen others ...

Re: Reliable Pricing Info - Where's Best?

Thanks for everyone's input so far - it's good to hear peoples experiences of what deals they could (or couldn't) get, and generally how you all went about things. Dealers obviously subscribe to valuation services like Glasses Guide, CAP, etc. and they have that information to hand. What I was hopin...

Re: Reliable Pricing Info - Where's Best?

Surely on any specific car in a dealers it's up to them how much they want to sell it for and if they will even discuss discount. I absolutely agree it's the dealers cars to do with as they please, I just find it both tiresome and frustrating when they try and suggested they're already being more t...

Reliable Pricing Info - Where's Best?

Hi Guys, I'm in the market for a V8R convertible, approx. 18 months old (give or take). I've been looking at the same cars for some time now at various dealers, and there's car out there, but not a lot moving. I'm getting a little frustrated at the dealers reluctance to haggle, and the answer is alw...

Re: Dealer Margins - Used Vehicles

On the subject of warranties, if a car I was looking at had just over a year left of the manufacturers warranty, is it possible for the dealer to extend it at the time of purchase (giving 2+ years) or does the factory warranty have to run it's term before being able to extend?

Dealer Margins - Used Vehicles

Hello, I appreciate there are a huge number of variables involved as to when a dealer can or can't discount a used vehicle, and if so then by how much. I also appreciate that for the dealer there are preparation costs, overheads, future liabilities, not to mention a degree of profit. All that said, ...

When To Buy A Convertible?

Hi Folks, Currently considering taking the plunge on a V8R roadster. I've seen a couple of cars around the £60k mark, and 18mths old, which appear to be good value at this point in time. I'm in no immediate rush to buy, as it will be more of an expensive toy I'll keep for a number of years, but when...
