As mentioned in a few threads now I ordered a white ST3 at the beginning of April. As we all know delays hit and well delayed from July to August to September and now to October / November .
This caused me to start thinking about an I 20N and canceling my order. I rang my dealer and was 100% honest about this and said I am 50/50 on canceling as I can get the I20N in late September. Anyway, he said luckily someone just canceled an identical spec white ST3. Basically, std with LED headlamps is my spec. So I am now collecting at the end of September or early October with a little luck. Not bad I thought.
Now the point of all this waffle. He mentioned that my part ex valuation will have gone up and he will also rework the figures. Basically, I agreed on a PCP deal with a maximum 35% deposit. So now instead of giving my old car up and paying another £750 I will be giving my old car up and collecting £500 as well as the new car. My part x has gone up £1200 since April . I was thinking about this anyway but the dealer brought it up not me. Can't rate the service I have had from them higher so far. Still have to get the car though but I hope it continues.
Anyway, any of you out there with old part x valuations and delayed cars should get the dealers to look at the figures again.
I hope this post helps save at least someone some money and sorry it was a little long.
