Title: 3-day-sales
Post by: Greenthumbs47 on August 17, 2011, 13:12:27: Hello and hope another member whose bought an AUTO SX i30 recently, can tell me how good a deal I should expect during the sales coming up this weekend?

Appreciate your feedback as a new member looking specifically to making a purchase when the prices should be at their best.

Although, not everyone wants to divolge exactly what they paid for their car...

A good start would be to browse carsales.com for their best deals on the model you are looking for .. It makes a big difference if you are a cash buyer with no trade.. If you have a trade it is obviously the changeover that matters.. :winker:

Post by: asathorny on August 17, 2011, 13:42:21: I got what I thought was an OK deal by buying a PreReg which had only the 15mls delivery milage on the clock. Without run ning round to get all the paperwork out I think I paid 8.350 UKP's plus my 7yr old Toyota Yaris. The Yaris, despite having quite low milage was in fact coming up for major spend in that. When Idid a tight figure of eight to ets the CV joints they where clicking noticable and, since I am now too old and fat to be crawing about under cars I would have had to pay a garage to do the work, ergo, time to get rid...

Anyhow I got my i30 edition with the deal I have just outlined... then waited for the usual peeps (no one here of course) to crawl out of the woodwork saying "Oh I coulda got one one cheaper than that" or.... well ya know what I mean :scared:

Anyhow, good luck with your adventure, keep us informed :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

Post by: eye30 on August 17, 2011, 13:57:43: Decide on your budget + or- a few $ as to what you want to pay and if it comes within that price then just go for it.

I've found that by waiting/checking other dealers/suppliers the deal that was on the table gets pulled and you end up paying more.

ps Welcome to the site
