Following on form my thread on the main forum, I think I am going for an S1, having not gone for one 3 months ago... DOH!
Anyway I have about 14 - 15K, I have seen a few adverts in dealers and I was wondering what other people's advice experience is. My Clio Cup is a fair chunk of the cash I have, if I can off load it privately I'll be able to go for a private sale otherwise I'll try and off load in the deal. As far as dealers are concerned I have seen one S1 on the Paul Matty site - any experience? Another dealer 'performance time' in Brum has two in range - never heard of them they came up on a trader search, I have also been to adrian Blyth - I was impressed and if they get anything in the right price range I'd go back there. Can anyone suggest reasonable dealers anywhere else?
Also, trackers... My insurance company wants one, is his normal? Assuming it is (I suspect not) does anyone have any suggestions of where to go and not get fleeced!!!

Cheers Alun! I'm going to try and call Paul Matty tomorrow with a view to getting Friday off and going to look. If nothing else it should provide a good baseline. The one they have on their site is well in budget and 13.5 and is my favorite colour etc but it is an older car. I'll probably ask more advice!!
Dan - I agree with what you are suggesting but to go private I have to sell my car which will probably be OK. Also, as i use my careach day for work if I sell one and don't find one pretty quickly work will be interesting!
On the tracker front, any suggestions? I have no idea of costs really but in theory I don't mind paying is first, it is a reasonable cost and second, it delivers something if it is needed... I was interested to find out that the Cup and the Elise cost the same insurance wise!
