think some insurers dont like imports, but mine was ok. only went up £15 a month from when I had my Puma 1.7. did not think that was too bad

the alarm they fitted to mine was a sigma 2-1. in other words upgrading the cat 2 std immobiliser to a full cat 1 alarm system. i was quite happy with this as I sell sigma systems at work and they have been very reliable.

bought my 182 from motorpoint. is a standard car in black gold. took 8 days from order to collection. impressed with the service, but dont expect any frills.

That is an easy way to work out the approx apr. have to say that 7% is not fantastic though. Have you looked around on the internet? should be able to get around 6-7 apr. even a dealer should be around 9% if you push them providing the car you are looking at is fairly new.

bought my 182 from there 2 weeks ago. car is an import but so far very happy with it. just wish the miles would go a bit quicker. still only another 80 or so till fun time. :D just be careful with the spec. mine came without an alarm which would be standard over here. other than that spot on...

silver devaluing? i am in the trade and its still as strong as ever. But as you say there are a few too many about. I just did not want a car to look like everyone elses. providing i keep it polished, it looks fantastic.

good choice, same colour as mine. Called black gold as there is flecks of gold behind the black. Be warned though, it needs to be cleaned too often.

i did say it was severe. ;)

the other option, although is a little more severe is to look under the terms of the agreenment. you should see that after a certain period you will be able to hand the car back to the finance company without any penalties or charges regardless of how much is outstanding at that time. This...

The fact that it is hp is good and it gives you a few more options. It will depend on how the dealer works their deals out. if you owe more than the px is worth, you should still be able to roll it into the next deal. Extra deposit would be the better option as this will see you clear and...

providind that you have a normal hp agreement (not a contract hire), it should be very easy for the dealer to arrange for the settlement figure from you current car, and put that on to your new arrangement. If it is not normal hp, then be careful incase there are any penalties for settling...

going to give it the first proper clean today seeing as I am off. even borrowed a supagard pack from work. then think it will be a long drive to anywhere. 625 will be here in no time.

It is 625 miles because that translates to 1000km. I am still running in my 182, and its killing me. Only 250 miles to go though, then its fun time. :D
