Time to change the wife's 2001 clk cab. Looking to p/x and PCP something new, either coupe or cabriolet.
Must have 4 seats and an auto - not fussed about diesel as she only does 6k/yr
Looking to p/x + up to £250/mth with balloon payment

Struggling to find something suitable - she wants something that looks good (badge snob) which wipes out most things, all I can come up with so far is;
Merc CLC
VW sirocco
VW EOS
1 Series Cab
A3 cab

Anything I've missed?
Can you get PCP's on ex-demo's or nearly new cars does anyone know? Any recommendation for PCP brokers most welcome

Is there a Scirocco convertible?

To be honest, I'd just let her pick what she wants.

beginning to get that way - most things I mention get a look of disgust - can't see the problem with a Mustang or an early 996!

sorry to be clear, can be a coupe or a cabriolet

You should be able to get a used car on pcp through a main dealer.

I'd recommend a 1 series, we have had 4 now and covered 200k plus in them and had 1 warranty repair on the auto wipers, very impressed with the build quality. I've not driven the convertible but I have a coupe and love it.

Thanks Northandy

After all that - she did indeed get a 1 series - although a 5dr not a cab (kids didn't fit in the back without chopping their feet off!)
1 series sport now on order for delivery late sep with a few extras - hopefully that will keep her happy (for a few days)

Are you talking new or used? The S4 cab is pretty damned cheap now if you're looking at second-hand ones.

Nice one, I've been really impressed with the four we have had, not everyone loves them but what does that matter.
