result! Having been thinking about buying one for my wife for a few weeks now, I called my local dealer to place an order at 4pm today and to find out when I could expect delivery. I was informed 'late January sir...however, we have a cancelled order sitting here in the showroom, if your interested, you can have this one any time you like.'
it's not the spec I was going to order, but hey - it's there, it's new and unregistered and it's mine. A Pure TD4 with front fogs and front parking sensors - and at the pre-price increase of £29,610. Result. Is this the cheapest deal in the UK for a brand new one I wonder. I was going to order a Pure SD4 with tech pack and lifestyle pack. But for the saving of £5,500 on the extras I'm happy to compromise for a second car.
