Pretty much - after all, there's a new CTR in month and a bit's time.

Hectic, I'd still haggle some off that price, as there are going to a number turning up for sale soon when the new orders have been taken/filled.
I presume this is the asking/displayed price and you've not spoken to them yet?
If so, I think £12K easily, but nearer to £11,750 if you're going in cash rather than P/Ex.
Give them the old sob story (near the end of the month - 7-10 days time) that you'd really love to be seen driving it, but if you can't push £11.5K.
Wince and make it look like you're having a time struggling to rationalise going £11,750.
Job should be a good'un.

Did they do the Type R in blue sure it was'nt the Type S, could be wrong. Gotta be a cpsmic grey one looks good and seems to old value a little more.

For me it would be the Cpsmic Grey as above just for the rarity of the colour black is over done, and silver looks like you are secreatly 80 and just went into the dealership and said to them i've got 18k to spend before i keel over what can i get?

Breadvan, mk2, Milano red... my favourite anyway

Though if you can get hold of a white one that would be pretty nice!

Red does look good - I'm always put off by it though as Red is hard colour to maintain. The amount of faded red cars you see.......Just make sure you regularly clean,ploish and wax it.

RED! Fastest colour too... Bought mine end-November last year. Maybe not the best time to buy but my 172 was suffering so many problems it had to go. Got a great deal on a cracking car though so all worked out OK in the end.

Black's too much hard work to keep clean and shows up swirl marks like mad.

Silver - too common ;-)

Cosmic grey - nice but a bit dull IMO

AFAIK the metallic blue that the sport model comes in can be had on CTRs on mainland Europe only. Obviously whites the JDM models only.
