| 2 years deferred payment offer / Colours |
|
Hi Folks
I've just registered after lurking for a couple of days. REALLY helpful site! I'm currently in the process of speccing up a D4 (probably an XS with Xenons, premium nav, 20" alloys, TV tuner.. any other vital things I've missed  ??) and I'm hoping to take advantage of the 2 payments in 2 years O% plan. With the long lead times at the moment what are the chances of getting a D4 registered before the 31st March expiry date of this offer do you think? From experience do you think there is much leeway on this for a vehicle ordered in the next few weeks? ie would a dealer still honour the finance deal if earliest delivery isn't until April do you think?
The current deal (plus if I can get a decent % off through going via a broker.. Motorlogix or whoever) makes a new D4 attractive to me over a used late model D3 or older used FFRR but I don't want to rush my order before I've had the chance to get down to a dealer and test drive, agonise over spec etc (part of the fun for me with any new car!).
On a totally different note I feel like I need to see a few more cars in the metal to make my mind up on colour choice. Nara Bronze looks nice but I'd like to see a White one (saves a few quid on metallic too) or Bournville Brown too (these latter two colours seem to be making a comeback of late but one wonders what they would do to residual values).. With a silver Merc and a grey Beemer in the family fleet at the moment I fancy a change!!
I also wish there was a brown leather option (any plans to add one?) as the lighter leathers aren't too kid/dog friendly (mine are mud magnets) and I'm kind of bored of black leather which is what I'd go for at the moment.. A pal of mine has a silver X5 with brown leather which actually looks really smart.. Mind you Bourneville Brown with Brown leather would be overkill perhaps !!
Anyone on the site got / seen any of these colours as yet and have any comments?

i wasnt aware you could get the 0% offer with going through a broker like motologix.... I too am thinking of the white since it saves £500+ squid. Seen some pics on the net and it looks nice  I always thought with the finance that it was a sacrifice with the 0% offer since you would be less of a position to haggle, but I might be wrong.

Both my wife and the broker are trying to talk me out of white Apparently the 2 yrs 0% finance offer should still be available via a broker, but the window of opportunity for this is fairly tight..

If a dealer has a vehicle scheduled for late Feb/early Mar that they can spec-change, then it should still come through with your amended spec before the 0% APP offer expires. The only issue could be that the dealers supplying via the brokers may have long lead times due to their prices.
Most importantly, get written commitment and a factory order number to ensure that they have amended a car for you as opposed to ordering a fresh order and crossing their fingers.

Thanks Russell, good info ref the light interior. Yours looks lovely by the way (Stornoway Grey?).. looks similar to the "Space Grey" on my current 3 series coupe (which was somewhat hairy in the snow this morning !!)
