Hi there,
I am going to buy a ctr in the next week or so (hopefully)
if I find a decent private sale! Would just like to know a couple of things:
1, what are the servicing costs and how often are they?
2, is the aircon a dealer fit option, and how much is it?
3, And is there anything to look out for when buying a nearly new ctr?
thanks Taffyboyo!

I bought one new, did 1500 miles in it. Sold it. No problems with the quality.

Thumbs up


1st Service £100, from then on between £100-£150

Air-con is dealer fit, not worth it in my eyes.

Look out for dodgy tyre, there have been a number of cases of those bridgestones blowing out and causing accidents. Build quality is good, stay away from black unless you want to spend all day cleaning and polishing the car. Silver is the easiest and looks the dogs with tints.

Had one for 15 months but couldn't live with the lack of traction, back to good old 4wd for me.

Last weeks Autocar did a 'fast cars for under 15k' feature.
Worth a read before you buy one.
should still be on the shelf.
