Buying New Instead.

[wighty]

I was going to buy a second-hand Cerbera for £25k (Previous posting To buy or not to buy, excellent response by the way, thankyou). But have discovered a way that I can aford a new one now.
So I'm currenly waiting for delivery details and the likes.
I know a lot of people believe in not buying new and go for nearly new, but I really had an idea of how I wanted my Cerb to look.
I've going for Matt Black 18ins alloys and aircon with full hide. Don't know about the sports exhaust yet! I've choosen the colour orange (same shade used by Lotus)!!!! It may seem like a loud colour, but I have seen one in this colour before and I think it looks amazing. So soon, I will have the images up for you all to see. Thanks for all your help.
By the way I mentioned in my first post about how the boss would need a car! Well she's keeping the MGF. That stops me from getting nagged for the next year!Cool!

Hmm, what is this mysterious way you're discovered to turn 25k into 45k?

(alchemy not withstanding)

[wighty]

I'm using the £25k as a deposit! And worrying about the rest at the end of each month for the next 2 years!!! It works out a lot cheaper than I thought it would be! So I'm a really, really happy guy at the moment!

Congratulations on your new motor. Is it a single colour orange or a Chameleon one?

[wighty]

No, it's single orange!

[mattjbatch]

It'll look pretty smart. Go for the sports exhaust. You know you want to

[wighty]

The sports exhaust is an area I'm not too sure about!
What are the benefits?
Is a de-cat option worth it too?
I going to stay with standed at the moment and then maybe change at a later date!

[mattjbatch]

Benefit? Sound
Might be too loud for trackdays though. Not sure about the de-cat though. I'm sure there are loads of threads about sports exhausts in the archives. I'd just say talk to other owners and listen to their cars, then make up your mind. Good luck and have fun!

A mates just popped a sports exhaust on his Cerbera, 2 days after buying it second hand, funnily enough that ones orange with black 18's
Defineitly worth it, it makes your face ache from grinning so much

[wighty]

He never bought the car from York did he? This is where I originally saw an Orange Cerbera, about 2 years ago, and have not seen one since. It use to drive past me nearly everynight on my walk back to the station. I can't believe I will have mine very soon! Still not sold on the exhaust though!

Thanks for your thoughts anyway!

[raceboy]

No, it's migrated north to Notts from 'down south'

I'm desperately trying to load on a photo of said orange sirby, with no success, perhaps raceboy can help. By the way, pops & bangs are outrageous, I have a feeling i'm gonna get arrested for possesion of an offensive car.....!

[Ston]

cirvy, does it still have Cats? and where did you get the sports exhaust from?

[wighty]

I hope you can load it on! It will give me something to look at, and I'll be able to pretend it is mine for the next 12 weeks!

[wighty]

I've tracked Sirby down in a previos post! Any other pics! It looks fantastic!:d

[raceboy]

Do you mean this one cirvy?
