On Tuesday, I expect to pick up my RCZ. It depends if the kerbed wheel is fixed in time, should find out tomorrow about that.
Apart from between November 2004 and March 2010, I have owned Peugeot's since my first one in 1994. I started off with a 'M' 106 Mardi Gras then 'N' 106 Aztec then 'P' 106 XL. Then it was onto 'R' 306 Vivant then 'W' 206 1.4LX before a '51' 206CC 2.0SE which was rejected and replaced with a '02' 206CC 2.0SE.
I then swapped the CC for a new '54' MG ZR in November 2004 which was used for work, that was replaced in June 2006 with a Renault Clio Campus Sport before selling it last November. Alongside the MG ZR and Clio was a Nissan 350Z Roadster that arrived in March 2005 before being traded in for a White Peugeot 308CC GT on 1st March 2010.
Having sold the 2nd car (Clio), I opted for the 308CC instead of waiting on an RCZ as I really needed something practical having only one car.
Unfortunately it was the only real car buying mistake I have made. Loved it when I got it but the legacy of the 350Z meant that it couldn't excite me. Engine problems in March where it was off the road for nearly 4 weeks was the nail in the coffin.
While the 308CC was at the local dealer, I noticed an Amber Red RCZ in the showroom and resisted the temptation of a look - until I was next in a few days later.
The 308CC was a mistake as selling it would mean a massive loss, over £10,000 to be exact. With wanting to spend money elsewhere over the next year or so, I couldn't really afford a new RCZ. It would have to be a GT as I was too used to the similar toys that the 308CC has.
So, for the first time since my first car in 1993, I am reduced to buying a used car :lol:
Hopefully on Tuesday I will pick up a 60 plate RCZ GT 200BHP in Amber Red. It has the integral leather that I also have in the 308CC, Vision Pack and upgrade to 19" Solstice alloys in onyx black.
It has 1400 miles on the clock and is nearly 4 months old. A £6k saving against list price at only £22k helps offset the massive loss on the 308CC.
Here is the 308CC that is going.....
