Hi everyone
Well I've just purchased a new coupe after my last one was stolen , driven round the block and smashed into a tree !!!!
Amazed at the prices now, my first coupe was 30 k , I just got this one for 13k !!
It's a ruby black automatic, most options, black interior and new 108s from the dealer as the old ones looked very corroded, interestingly I had these replaced free of charge under warranty, the dealer asked me to pay for the car then claim and they would approve it. New tyres as well lol . The bill was over 3 grand eeeeek!!!
However a few questions if I may
1 - this one seems a lot quicker than my last , my initial thoughts were that because I've been driving a 118d for 6 months I had forgot how fast these cars are but it really does seem a lot faster. And it's doing 16 mpg average around town ( based on a full tank this week, admittedly driven enthusiastically from time to time, on urban roads, few motorway miles as I work from home) while my previous car did in the 20 s. Can't spot anything unusual under the bonnet so I presume it's been chipped???
2 - the cigarette lighter socket is broke, how do I get a new one and has anyone ever fitted one?? How easy etc ???
3 - I have a iPhone 4 and can't find a cradle for the Bluetooth kit in the centre compartment , anyone have any ideas on this
4 - it has a permaguard 5000 sticker in the door sill, last done in 2008, is it worth having it re done ???
5 - the sound generator foam had been removed so I was wondering if it was a previous forum members car , the numberplate is s700 *** and purchased from Newcastle
Cheers everyone, I'm having it detailed next week so I'll post pictures
