So many garages will have a fleet of brand new cars parked up to massage their sales figures. They register them, park them for three months then sell them as a "second hand" but brand new/unused car. Can knock thousands of the list price and still have the same warranty/finance/service deals as new ones. I've done this a few times over the years. You can't (obviously) specify what options you would want your new car to have, but you can save thousands on the list price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Fiesta at the moment through work and it's a great car. the 1L ecoboost engine really is a remarkable thing. But..I would prefer a new car and believe it or not, Mrs Romeo thinks the fiesta is too big despite me telling her the new KA+ is pretty much the same size. women eh?

I had an Allegro, a Princess and a Maestro and they were indescribably awful compared to today's cars. My mum's first car when I was growing up was a Maxi, and her next 3 cars were Rovers, as were my first 2. It's quite comical now to think Rover was marketed as a classy brand. Today's car owners are missing out on all the fun, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must think the fewer the letters, the smaller the car, get her an A1 and tell her its the smallest car ever made! My wife is the opposite, she prefers a bigger car, she chose our other car, a XC60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has yet discovered the benefits of heated seats has something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heated wheel is next on the list for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 So the pre reg thing? Doesn't that mean you are the 2nd owner of the car which ultimately mean less sell on value in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had 8 miles on the clock and i saved something like £4k off the same model sitting brand new next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
