Matt - except mine looks better

Russ - mines a 99 "T". What about adding on for the colour coding, CD and 17" wheels - I know that you never recoup your outlay, but it's got to be worth something more - or maybe just easier to sell?

Neil - I'm not going to go for this one I think, but would be tempted by a good deal on a new one (if such a thing exists) - I'm going to speak to them today and I'll let you know how it goes!

Russell,

Depending on how I think negotiations are going I might just take you up on that offer - the only thing is I expect if I go in yours, then I'll just want one no matter how much!

Sorry to be stupid but what is an equal length manifold anyway?

haven't got a clue.

No, it is exactly what it says, helps the gasses get out hence more power/torque.

Matt,

Glad to hear you're getting a P1 - your car looks far to much like mine for my liking

Cheers,

Matt.

Matt,

99 s plate : trade 11,900 retail 13,500

99 t plate : trade 12,500 retail 14,100

99 v plate : trade 13,200 retail 14,800

add say £250 for the roof.

Which one is yours ??

Thumbs up

Russell

Spike said they had fitted one.

We'll run a little side by side on the 12th ( as Mr Croney puts it 'just for scientific research' )

See ya on the 12th ( hope the Missus makes it - Has she any idea yet ? ).

Matt - You made a decision yet whether to buy ?

No she doesn't know yet.

The test will be interesting.

Thumbs down

The update is that for a new one I am probably going to be looking at mine plus 17k - not going to happen at that price I can assure you, but we live in hope, so I think a visit may be in order, for some harder negotiating.

I was told that there weren't many P1's left so the chance is running out, but that there is the possibility of a "sensible" deal. Also told taht they had just underwitten one like mine (without the add ons though) for £12k, that means 10k+ depreciation in 18 months!!

It looks like it'll have to be a case of Mr Brembo and Mr Motec paying my car a visit

Thanks for all the help though guys, and if you hear of any going cheap let me know.

I considered the same at the end of feb.. against a 14 month old UK MY00, 9000 miles, no mods, bought from the dealer for full price.

The negotiating went:
Sales person "yours plus £16K for an ex-demo P1"
Me: "No"
Sales person (thinks...)"yours plus £16K for a new P1"
Me: "No"
Sales person (thinks real hard for a long time...)"yours plus £15K for a new P1"
Me: "OK, now I'm interested...but how much for the new P1 for cash?"
Sales person (thinks...)"£29.5K"

...so said no in the end - 'cos he was effectively offering me £14.5K for mine, which I didn't think was enough (then!)
