Discussion
One thing you new buyers may wish to check and ask the dealer about before delivery is the colour of the dashboard. Many have a light colour, beige/ brown etc (mine is an Intens) and it reflects horrifically in the windscreen. Less of an issue currently. However I have seen an winter on a different forum who has had it changed for a dark one and I understood that was a recall/ warranty thing. So I would get that done before delivery and please do update here as to what response you get to the question!

Hopefully it looks like my Zoe will be delivered to the dealer tomorrow, ready for me late this week.
May have missed it earlier, what spec did you go for?Mine was due at the dealership last week but is still in Southampton. Probably awaiting a smart repair guy to fix it

I have ordered a front arm rest they will fit it free - seems essential in a none manual car.
You get some useful extra storage with that too.. How much? I'm still waiting on figures to be emailed over. One thing the dealer couldn't tell me was the lead time for getting the home charging point installed. Having the car there isn't much good if you can't charge the bloody thing up!

Ebay price £135 I think with free fitting - just need somewhere to lean, Im a dedicated cruiser I'm still waiting on figures to be emailed over.

Anyone sorted insurance yet?
Is on my to do list but haven't asked for any quotes yet, so was wondering who others have used.
I've read some stuff on the web about having to insure the battery separately to the car!

ks. Just insure the car for it's full value (before the government grant) and you are OK.IN51GHT said:

As long as the insurance company understand that then you should be fine.

Arriva £230 protected no claims, I'm 37 with clean license, no accidents and a half decent post code. Is on my to do list but haven't asked for any quotes yet, so was wondering who others have used.

As stated make sure the insurance know the value is the car plus the battery. Arriva seemed okay with this.

Just had word that it looks like mine is good for delivery to the dealer tomorrow. Do I drive it the 180miles back or get it delivered?
If it were me.....Delivered!Wouldn't be so bad if we were in the middle of a balmy summer but getting stuck somewhere in the current climate would be s
t.I've just confirmed mine with Sheffield.
Intens, Glacier White
7500 miles
£150 deposit
£155 per month (Battery+Car)
Includes delivery to Leeds. I'm gonna wuss out and get it delivered. Not through range anxiety, purely as it's convenient.

understandable, but disappointing - it would have been a nice write up and a good introduction to the car....
I am hopeful mine arrives at the dealership today
I could easily collect it as it is only 52 miles home and Doncaster Moto services is at the 30 mile mark and has an Ecotricity rapid charger (that seems to be outside the scope of this week's maintenance plans)
