After winning a Citroen DS3 White in a comp, keep the Leon or the DS3? Now with Pics

[nc30rider]

As the title states, tough one. The DS3 is stunning to look at, but I do like the punch of the Fr170
It's a 1.6 VTi 120bhp so not sure it's gonna excite me, but u gotta love the looks. It gets delivered next week

NOW WITH PICS

Nice one. Personally I would keep the Leon but its your choice really. Either way your going to have money in your pocket

 

[TheDean]

All to do with money here...depreceation will be a lot, and they are clearly in demand, so I would flog te DS3 personally and treat myself to a holiday!

 

[Adamm]

Those DS3's are boggin. And not to mention the stupid lights on the front.

 

[GlanzaV]

A lady at my work has (lady + elderly might say something) but I quite like them.

I'd maybe sell it and invest the money for a rainy day. Is there anything written into the comp rules saying you can't sell it? Just pretend you never won it and be happy with the money in the bank! What comp was it out of interest?

Are you trying to tell us something wayne rooney?

Anyway regarding the car, sell it and enjoy the money. Obviously we don't know your financial situation but if I had any debts or a mortgage then I personally would be inclined to throw the cash at that, being that it's money I never expected to have. Save a little back and buy yourself something nice too for your efforts of entering a competition and being a lucky sod

personally along the lines of everyone else, sell the ds3, a brand new ones gotta worth a bit! and depreciation after keeping it will be alot on a frenchie so while you can get the most for it, why not... or sell both and get something for the combined price?

what comp was it that you won?

 

[DaveysFR]

Sell the DS3 and put the money to good use by maybe changing to a newer car ie Cupra R or similar by selling the FR as well lol

Having driven both the DS3 does go, but the skinny tyres do screw the ride on UK roads [ even worst than the FR's!!] Enjoy it for 6 months and sell - you have already dropped 17% soon to be 20% VAT, Unless you sell privately?? also try a DS3 Forum simlar to this ??

I'd sell it immediately, advertising it as 'delivery mileage'. I reckon driving it for 6 months will kill whatever value was in that car. Although I reckon the first question someone will ask is why are you selling a brand new car.

No harm in selling a new car, be honest? im sure someone after one would rather a cheaper one than buying from a dealer

 

[Murdered LCR]

How did you win it , sell both cars get some thing better

 

[nc30rider]

I won it on a Facebook competition. Was totally gobsmacked, I never win anything
Had confirmation it will be delivered on 6th Oct.
Pretty much decided I'm gonna keep the Leon, and maybe get the family some good treats and bank the rest

 

[Murdered LCR]

Sweet that's great , some one has to win it well done

True, I just had the thought that as soon as the words 'I won it' are mentioned, the potential buyer will try and take the P with the price. After all, it's not as if you have to pay off a loan or be otherwise out of pocket with a cheaper offer.

Am I being too cynical?

 

[Nath.]

Sell the DS3 and use the money to pay off a chunk of your mortgage.

On Facebook!

I'd wait till it turns up before getting excited, could be bogus! Hope not for your sake.

Sell it, nothing wrong with saying it a competition win. Yes buyer will try and screw you down on price but as you tell 'em its cheaper from you than any dealer, there loss not yours, your not losing out with it sitting on your drive doing nothing.

Personally I'd knock a grand off just to get shot of it. Maybe even see what Citroen would would offer you for it.

If it was me i'd sell it and pay off the balance on my cupra Probably have some left for more mods too!
