He also claimed it would have cruise control.
It is great to have a forum like this.
Talk to you soon and hopefully have a photo to share of the new i30.

If thats the price for the above quoted car then I would snap it up. I assume the ref to ESP is with the protectz pack? The protecz pack on the SLX is work $1000 alone..
I would also ensure that factory Cruise control is written on the contract also.

Silver is the way to go! 8-)
Post by: EymaTeapot on June 24, 2008, 13:05:08
I doubt that price.
slx crdi manual $25990
protects pack $990
onroad costs $3000 approx
Metaic paint $320
Total $30300
Thats like a $4500 discount
Maybe they quoted a Petrol, good price even if so.
I reckon they have got it wrong. Otherwise buy it quick.

I have spoken to the salesman a few times on the phone and we have emailed back and forth. I confirmed all the details a few times and he claims they are right.
I have had 3 quotes from other yards so far and the second lowest was $26300 so his $25800 is not too far away from that.
I always ask for it in writing and I will be checking the contract before I sign it. If it is wrong I have made it clear to him I would be going elsewhere.
I am stuck between black and silver - I know black is hard to keep clean - silver does look nice. I am leaning towards black though.
The ESP does mean the protectz pack.
Well I am heading down in the morning to order it.
He told me it would be available in August - so there is a bit of a wait - that almost turned me to another car - but they are just too good to pass up.
I will let you all know what happens tomorrow.
Cheers,
Saint

You say it might be hard to keep clean but when you see the stone effect glistening in the sunshine, you'll know you made the right decision.
Oh and Mr Saint, dont' forget to ask if the Halo is on

Where do you live?
Oh I forgot for a moment, it's you Shambles only 40 miles away!
Send some my way

Actually, make that 20 minutes.

Please wait.. all good things come to those who do that
Black looks dressy but it's not as well suited to our hotter climate. The silver will stay cooler in the back for the kids and will look clean for longer (I.M.O. anyway)
I've got no vested interest in what colour you choose but think Hyundai uses silver in most of their adds for a reason (and particularly the SR looks brilliant in Silver in the flesh)
Hang in there...

Okay all good I dropped in on the way to work this afternoon and signed up and left a deposit.
What colour you ask >drum roll< I went for the silver...
Yes all was as quoted previously and written in contract for $25800 drive away.
I am heading to bed and will catch up later.

Silver eh! Don't suppose "uncle" Darryl's advice had anything to do with it ... :o
Thanks for posting an update before you hit the sack (Otherwise Eyma wasn't going to sleep)
