Just signed on the dotted line. Car will be at dealers 18th April and then a PDI/registration later it'll be mine
Gone for satnav in the end. The increase balloon payment due to residual value means the monthly cost is almost identical.
Woooohhhhoooooo

Make sure the shat nav has the correct software - it's often a year out of date & it takes ages for the stealer to download the update...

Its a pcp scheme with a discounted car by 10% and the finance scheme discounted as well.

Good work on the motor fluffy.

I used to work at rr/Bentley as did my mum. Before she died last year we used her pensioner scheme to get discount off a new motor. I was shocked that we got 20% of a q3 with all options. Made it very cheap.

Looking forward to seeing the gt86 pics

It seems incredible to me that something which commands a premium of a few pounds for an OEM (i imagine) is not there when we're talking about switching off analogue.

Crazy days

I pondered a 3 MPS.. Sleepy turbo and not as chav as focci IMO
I was fancying an mps 3 too, quite understated and meant to he rather good and under rated. You can get them for around 6k now
I got one of these from new in 2010 (days of scrappage scheme), I like it. Not as focused as a Megane or Focus though, hence cheaper. Basically a normal 3 but goes like a stabbed rat.

I must say that compared to the Bentley scheme ours looks expensive.
For the cost of a 1.4L corolla (its a few years back) my brother had the V6 4WD DSG Audi A3 (not sure it was labelled an RS3 at the time but essentially what it was)
Key difference is we can have 2 cars on the scheme (family only folks, sorry) and unlimited mileage on the main scheme section (there'll be a 10k/year limit on the GT86)

GT86 photos hopefully due in a couple of weeks

I drove one a few years back and was really impressed for the price .... Very quick in third onwards ... Boost restricted in first and second when you get a bit too enthusiastic
