General Finding a Bargain ???

[Big Black Stilo]

i found this today. http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/petrol-vs-diesel/?deriv=37743

apparently with my annual mileage, i wouldnt break even if i got the diesel variant

 

[Hellcat]

39mpg for the petrol and 50mpg for the multijet. What are peoples real world mpgs?

88.8p for petrol (where sells petrol for .8??) and 100p for diesel?

Although you might not break even take it into account over the cars life... if you sell after 5 years the 2nd owner will still pay a premium over a petrol as they will be saving per mile too.

I bought my 6 month Bravo with 2800 miles on the clock, leather and climate and years road tax for £10500 in November, needed a car quick after selling my one otherwise I might have got it a little cheaper. Seemed a reasonable price but I'm sure it's value is still plummeting. Looked at the new option and was a few grand more, and this car was as good as new.

Went for the Petrol as I'm not a huge fan of diesels and do low miles and the differences in purchase price and cost of fuel would probably cost me more in the long run!

Well I paid RRP minus a little bit... but I did get it August, year before last!

Damn you Bravo with your addictive curves *shakes fist*

Ordered mine yesterday:
Eco dynamic with lenticular paint (cool jazz blue) £12800 (£3k off).
ESP, Rain and Dusk Sensors, Parking Sensors £400 (£300+? off).

good deal!

not too far above what i paid but i dont have the leather option (not a fan of leather seats anyway), but mines in the dark red lenticular paint finish!

Hmmm.. they matched the deal and improved on it (!), according to the dealer principle the factory has closed down -temporarily- and so configured cars are taking longer - like post April!

Here's some more I found a-googlin:

Also, is there a great difference between the 150 Sport and the 120 Sport, it seems the market is flooded with 120 Sports showing between 3 - 10k miles ???

Is there such a thing as a 120 Sport?

 

[Big Black Stilo]

Is there such a thing as a 120 Sport?

yes, but its an active sport, so no sport button or twin smokers or red callipers

 

[thepottleflump]

Yeah I thought it was a good deal since it was effectively a brand new car and got the wifes seal of approval. With the leather, climate and black metallic paint it would have listed for £17k. It was a private trade at a Nissan dealer, they must have lost a fortune in the 6 months they owned it!

 

[Big Black Stilo]

when i spec'd up mine on the fiat site it came out about £17k.

cant believe what i got for my money

 

[Scrogg]

yes, but its an active sport...

Of course

...so no sport button or twin smokers or red callipers

Or ESP or Blue&Me or steering-wheel mounted controls...

 

[Big Black Stilo]

i drove an active sport with those toys in it

They're optional on the Active Sport, standard on the Sport.
