Maybe that was just the Duster Ruster stock

Oh yes, they pre-reg & discount of course (Renault West London for example has loads of pre-reg ones with delivery miles at a couple of grand under list) - even a Dacia loses money the moment you put a plate on it. But a brand new, customer-spec, unregistered Dacia - no price movement at all. Trust me, I've tried.

Why?

 

I can recall more friends who've had engine disasters with Renault than any other brand.

They have a firm no discount policy. The only wriggle room is on the options list.

Unless it's a brand new Dacia (cos they don't discount them)

 

Have you sat in one though?

 

I did and wasn't impressed - way below a Skoda (even a Rapid!!)

Same with Hyundais, whatever their spokesperson bluecar keeps posting all over briskoda, their interiors are still yuk.

 

(which is actually the lasting memory I have of mine - hideous inside)

Have you sat in one though?

Yes - have test-driven the Logan and Duster multiple times. It is well documented on here that I had planned to buy the Logan, but the lengthy wait time for a new one was longer than I could hang on for. Given my ****eron C4 had decided to start spontaneously eating turbos, a replacement vehicle was needed faster, hence the ex-demo Spaceback I ended up with.

They are. I checked a few out and also Mazda which are very bland.

I paid £12,400 for mine and that was way too much

Good price for a new one.

RRP is at least 15200.

Blimey yours was a bargain!

I paid £14780 :(

The things you have to add as extras just to make it something. Ridiculous.

Mine was £12,990 and comes with parking sensors, sat nav, dab radio and Bluetooth

I had to pay for Nav,Metallic paint and spare wheel. I was ripped off :(

Yes, I thought that was a very enticing special offer, but without a concrete build date for a SE Connect, a Toledo at the same price with the 105 engine, Climatronic, 17's and other toys as well tempted me more.

Mine was in the garage to pick up a week later.

Yeah, I went to see about one a few weeks after they advertised them and the SE Connect build was still "at least 18 weeks in the future".  

 

What a stupid system  - advertise a special edition, then say you can't have one for at least 4 Months.

 

I'm guessing you got yours about July '14 or later. (I went car shopping in March)

I did indeed. Was about the last few days of the offer and they only had two in stock.

I think each dealer was assigned 1or2  blue and 1or2 silver

I thought I was the only person in town with it in denim blue, until I walked to the wrong car last week....

I got overcharged on mine. Advertised @£11490, I paid £11495.

 

Only noticed when I got back home. They did stick half a tank of juice in to get me back from Lancs though.

Mine was ex demo, 4 months old with 3000 on the clock, sport spec in white, looked good! Offered with 2 free services, one major, one minor, spare wheel, comes serviced, free mats, reasonable px, reasonable finance rate. This is good!!!! "BUT"!!!

1. Heater control broken, damage to,dash when fixed.

2. Doors filled with water

3. Skoda deny all knowledge of one major & minor service, they say it's 2 minor services, then beginnes lengthy arguments with Skoda, namely their cars don't have 2 minor services back to back and because this is one of the reasons I bought the car. I want it. This was eventually resolved by dealer, Skoda UK wash their hands of this despite them running the offer under Skodas one big weekend in June 2015.

4.suspension fitted by Skoda garage prior to collection is found to be wrong and car sits higher on nearside.

This is not good enough!!

Our replacement for our white one is going back to skoda today for the boot struts to be changed, boot lid adjusted to get rid of the boomy noise and the rear wash spray to be reconnected... I'll also be asking for the boot seal to be replaced as it is now damaged. I still stand that they're not bad cars though.

Well that doesn't exactly sound "good" either.

You can do it yourself... in 5 mins... with one torx... I did it and boot lid is closing as should be... quietly...

OMG! That's not good. I though 12400 was for a new one
