my plans were for a 307CC 180 this march but i was only willing to pay approx £18000 (incl options) which motorpoint were selling the car for a few months back as i don't think it's worth the price that uk dealers charge which is £20,940 + £975 for metallic, leather upgrade and cruise control - not much change from £22k. :rolleyes: add my planned modifications at ecosse and you are talking close to £25k.
i can get good deals on the 138 model but as they are imports, it's not easy to add options which i would want to add a lot of to bring it up to 180 spec apart from the engine.
i have been thinking of the 350Z Roadster for the past week (still want a convertible which rules out the better looking coupe
) and i phoned motorpoint today as they hadn't had any 180's in stock for a while - in a way i was happy to hear they didn't have any due in within the next 2/3 months.i can't really afford the Z the now which is why i am going to wait a year - add the fact that the first allocation due in the uk in feb/march are already sold out. by the time next year comes hopefully i won't need to borrow much if any to pay for it.
that means that i will be stuck driving the MG ZR which i bought in november and nothing else for more than another year
but tonight i worked out that not getting the 307CC or any car for another year will save me around £5900 between depreciation (over 5yrs), running costs, maintenance, insurance and savings on offset mortgage interest.after 7 new peugeots since august 1994 - it now appears that the 206CC i sold in november was my last
in a way peugeot get what they deserve in losing a valuable customer through their own poor customer service, deplorable dealer service and inabiity to understand the needs of their customers.
peugeot 
but i think if i look a year down the line and i have a modified 307CC which would be nice i would regret not waiting and getting the 350Z roadster.
