New member..& £75k impulse buy of the best car in the world?
Discussion
k me - what's wrong with his head?
Sounds good.
It's your money, it sounds like you spent it on something you want.
There are a lot of people on PH who say bad things about PCP.
This is normally because it's someone earning £600 a month asking if a £350pcm for 3 years is a good deal for a new BMW as they can "afford it".

Dealer/BMW gave me £21800 discount/deposit contribution ...
So effectively , the Mini was thrown in free with the purchase of the BMW? Good deal. Look forward to pics (with or without custard).
PS. Congratulations on a great new car. And welcome to PH.
...and thanks.

Already did that.
Even 1 year old examples cost more than I've paid for brand new, like for like.
Factor in the PCP and the new car is £10k cheaper and better spec'd than a 12 month old/5000 miles AUC. Gotta love the bargaining power of end of quarter.
If you're happy you got the best deal you could then congratulations & enjoy the car.Even 1 year old examples cost more than I've paid for brand new, like for like.

Fair comment. These kind of people don't usually throw in a £5-figure deposit and buy a mini for cash alongside it though.It's your money, it sounds like you spent it on something you want.

PCP done right is amazing. The total I'll pay on this car, including servicing, and if I pay the balloon, is still nearly £25,000 less than new list. Can't argue with that!
Well done to you on your purchase and welcome to the mad house!
Sounds like a good deals to me too.
I always try to buy my cars new as well, and negotiate the best discount I can get from the repos time dealer.
People (who think they are smart) always say oh yeah you could have saved another 10K by buying a nearly new one.
And yet when you do try to look for a 12 month old example they all,seem to be advertised for more than I just paid for the new discounted model,I just bought!
So enjoy it, and please do post pictures too, I bet it will be a cracking car!

A great looking and very capable powerful car! Watch the long wheel base in the wet, although the driver aids are top notch and saved me on a bad surface the other week in my 3.
Sounds like you got a good deal and didn't drop a load of cash on something that depreciates faster than a stone.
It really is the way to fund a new car these days without actually giving much of your hard-earned away for the privilege.

Really? Strange. Are you Harry Enfield? "Richer than yaw...etc".
Discounts make me smile.
£21,800 ones (especially off nice cars) can make me hard.
Just seems a bit Everest windows. You know? "Normally 20 grand but today we have the chairman's special offer of 10 grand" type of thing.Discounts make me smile.
£21,800 ones (especially off nice cars) can make me hard.
Did you have to haggle or was that the window price?

That is a really fast delivery time for a new car, isn't it?
The new 6 has a lot of presence on the road in comparison to the rest of their range. I'm sure it will prove highly capable, congratulations.
Custom order/build would have been 8 weeks.The new 6 has a lot of presence on the road in comparison to the rest of their range. I'm sure it will prove highly capable, congratulations.
This was a car that existed with BMW UK - there were 5 or 6 available. One matched the spec I wanted, plus had some extra bits on. Jobs a good 'un.
Even 8 weeks is a short lead time IMO.
