Hello All,
Apart from my introductory thread yesterday (and thank you for the replies) this is my first post and first question on here.
Sue and I collect our 2007 Fiat based 2.3 mjet, Autotrail Cheyenne 635SE on Saturday 9th Oct.
I hope I got a good deal, it has only 4,300 miles and is immaculate, the dealer had it up for £34,995 originally, dropped it to £31,995 on the day we went by coincidence!! We didn't buy at the time but really liked it, having seen dozens if not hundreds!!! Thousands if you count looking on line!!
I wanted to check out the show at Lincoln first, just in case of end of season bargains and we didn't have a trade in so thought we might get something better. Anyway having braved the wind and rain at Lincoln we did find the absolute identical MH, very similar mileage 07 plate the same at £36,995. The dealer was prepared to come to £34k but no lower so off we went back to our original find.
I offered £29k but no luck, offered £30k along with a second battery and second gas bottle, level ramps and a hook up cable and 6 months warranty.
They agreed to the £30k and all the extras BUT without warranty.
As the MH has only done 4,300 miles and seems perfect I have accepted.
Now for the questions, have I got a good deal and secondly should I take out a Third Party warranty, I have a full value warranty offered via the dealer through Customer Protect at £465 approx for 12 months, £950 approx for 36 months.......................is it worth doing or not???? Or are there other better cheaper warranty providers out there??
Any help much appreciated. Regards Paul
