04 or 54

[Dave]

Theres a good chance I can have my car next week. Should I wait or not?

 

[Leo182]

I could have had mine at the end of July!

I decided to wait because im not impatient and i had a car to run around in while i wait.

If i were you, id defo wait now.

wait

 

[Alan]

When do the 54s come out mate?

 

[Dyewitness]

54

^^ September 1st.

Personally id wait, but thats just because when you come to sell itll look newer. Most people would prefer a 54 plate than an 04 even if it was made on the same day so therefore resale would be slightly better?!

Kev.

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Id wait, it will increase the resale value

 

[ViolentJ]

only what... 19 days left? may as well wait.

 

[bsimmer3000]

yeah wait for the 54 plate its not just ya resale value it the fact that if ya did get the 04 plate then when the 54 came out you would feel as if ya had a new car for only 19 days. it is nice to have a new car when the new plate comes out anyway.

No contest....wait

 

[Toypop]

Its so close now I will have to say wait.

However I said this in another conversation that wanting the latest plate is rather vain and not something that bothers me. I understand the concerns about resale value but look at it this way:

We here all like Clios. One of the reasons we like them is they dont seem to be driven by the Corsa crowd. We therefore have a duty to pass on our cars to "sound" individuals and not dumb asses who are likely to fit neons to them. Is it therefore right to sell your motor to someone who is a big enough dumbass to pay £500 more for a car that sat in a compound for 3 weeks before registration as opposed to being registered immediately?!??

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Do agree Toypop.

But sorry, money makes my world go round

If I was selling my car, and i had the choice of selling it to a outstanding, knowledgeable CS member, or some dumb person who though it just looked nice but would pay an extra £500 i would chose the dumb person .

I guess that makes me greedy... ho hum

 

[Toypop]

So basically you would sell the rest of us out and ruin the cars image for 500 notes!!!!

Ok I admit I would too!!!!

 

[Dave]

Resounding message to wait. Only reasons I dont want to are that I am starting a new job and will be doing 60miles a day commuting round the M25.

Doing that in a 1.1 Fiesta is not fun!

 

[craigs182]

[badinvincible]

wait for the 54

 

[jon_r]

Yep wait! I delayed 3 weeks last year for the 53 plate. Stupidly mind, a private plate went on 3 months after!

 

[black kro]

might as well wait - a few weeks in the Fiesta will make you appreciate it

MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH

more!

Id wait for it, when I ordered my 172 last year I specified I wanted it to be the new reg even tho I ordered it in June, turned up in october in the end so not sure why I even bothered to tell them! lol
