should I take the plunge

[Anonymous]

As some of you may know I'v just ordered a 156 GT in opal white and am expecting delivery in december however I dont know if I want to wait that long so I'v seen a ex demo model what which I rather like what do you guys think of it http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

Is that a limited edition - it looks like it, nice spec but it's got 4000 + miles that's the only downside - good price though.

Donn't know about the petrol engines (mines a HDI) but the demonstrator at my local dealer drives better than mine with it's 4000+ miles on the clock. Can't wait for mine to be the same!!

On the flip side, it is nice to pick up a brand new car (I know I'm probably not helping here )

I personally wouldn't be worried about a used one (if the price was right) and the limited edition is a bonus.

The car I had previous to my current one (still awaiting my RCZ) was an ex-demo for a good price with less than 4K on the clock and I was very happy to take it. The down side was the trade-in value. If I'd gone for a new car with a dearer price tag I'd have got more allowance in the trade in than in the situation I found myself in so IF you're trading in, remember that small fact. Also, as others have/will mention, there's nothing quite like getting a brand new car with your own personalisations to it. :dance: I guess I'm not helping either :helpme:

well I do prefer a new car and always buy new but I'v never had to wait so long for a car and Im so excited about the RCZ that I dont want to wait although I also dont want a used car

I guess the key question is do you want to wait for the new one? If you're prepared to then that's what sounds best. If you're impatient sounds like you've found a good alternative!

its a good spec and good price go for it you could be driving in it soon

I had to order as the dealers weren't allowed to sell demos/show room cars in May
Mine is due next week,so I know it will be worth waiting for. :brickwall:
Both my local dealers have placed their inital demos up for sale this week and are asking £1500 less than new, I think with the elvated price makes a new one worth waiting for :auto-car:

:mrgreen:

My current car was brand new all previous cars were used. Brand new car felt so much more special then other ones add to that the RCZ is a special car anyway and I would wait for new car and spec I wanted, but thats just my opinion.

i'v been thinking about it all weekend and in then end I'v decided just to wait for my car in december Its going to be a tough wait but I'd rather have it brand new and be the first person to take it for a proper drive Its going to be a long 3 months though

Personally I think you've made the right choice but I agree the wait's a killer Still, you might get a call like I did to say the car should be ready earlier than anticipated. Here's hoping :thumbup:

Maybe the dealer will let you take an occasional drive in the demonstrator to make the wait more bearable :lol:

Glad you were able to come to a decision - I'm sure you'll be happy with your car when you get it (and this way it's exactly the spec you want)

I think you've made the right choice too - there's nothing better than picking up a brand new car :thumbup:

The wait is long but you will appreciate it even more when it comes :!:

Hi mate
O MY COD! what a decission to have to make!! Would be interesting to see if the Brothers Fish would do a deal on it, you could probably batter them on the price but trouble is, once you're hooked on the RCZ its only a matter of time til you're reeled in.
Doing the right thing in my view :thumbup:
