Well my supplying dealer has managed to shift the red FL5 for £54k.
I’ll have to ask whether they threw some mats in…….

Yes I noticed that, the other red one has gone as well,

Still think the guy trying to sell the blue one for 60k is punching above his weight

[VTECMatt]

Another Blue FL5 went well above list think 56k.

Yes I know, and I am glad as my Blue one arrives March 15th.

The problem for me is that if they start selling for 60k I will be tempted to sell it.

Out of interest, what would you get in its place?

I’m worried I picked the wrong colour as there is a CW on autotrader cheap at £53,950!
I wonder what happened to the one at Southport Honda?

Don't know about the Southport Honda one, I have just noticed the 60k blue one has been reduced to 56950, a bit more like it.

It will be interesting to see if any 23 plate one's go on sale come the end of March, and how much they ask..

The blue one on Collecting cars went for £47k - the seller must be regretting that!

Yes I bet, not the place to sell with no reserve, that's for sure.

Buyer got it for just over £50400 with the fees. I think he has done well.

Ps anybody who is getting one in March. Don't forget to buy the 5yr service plan at £695 it is well worth it.

If you keep it, you have paid servicing, and if you sell it, your car will stand out from the one's that don't have it. It's a no brainer.

Totally agree. I’ve ordered the 5 year service plan plus the extra 2 year Warranty.
Both transferable and well worth it.

Nice one

[JAMSXR]

Ordered the service pack, 5 years for the cost of one service on my AMG!!

How much is the extended warranty?

So my car arrived today, and I have to say I am over the moon with it. It just looks so good in person

And as for being dull compared to the fk8, no way jose, it looks brutal.

The other thing that really surprised me is just how good the steering wheel feels , and I only drove it from the front to the back of the dealership.

Its £399 and includes roadside assistance so at £200/year it will significantly beat in price any comprehensive warranty you will buy elsewhere after your 3 runs out.

Tbh I was one of those people who totally dismissed the car as it looked boring on pics until I saw a red one in Croydon yesterday. It really looked stunning

Hi. Can I ask-Did you buy the red elegance car mats?

I’ve ordered them but the dealer has messaged to say ‘Please note that the Carpet Mats will need to be fitted by cutting the clips into the carpet, they have said that if you want us to do that for you then there would be a small fitting charge, or we can just pop it all in the car for you ‘
I thought all cars came with studs ready for mats????
Does anyone know what this involves?
Sorry if this is a stupid question

The clips come with the mats, if you have paid full price for them that price includes the tiny amount of labour for fitting, so challenge them on an extra fitting charge.
It does involve cutting the the carpet , but the marks where to cut on the carpet are already there.
If you fit them yourself you only need a stanley knife, but it is a bit fidely to do.
I did order them ,but mine are on back order, so well done if they have them for you.
I am picking mine up today, hence I have been up since 4am . Feels like Christmas.
