Hello and help! Advice on internet buying for Leon FR

[CBLeon]

Hi there!
Well i have been lurking for a while and am now in a position to buy a new Leon FR!
This board has been an invaluable source of advice in helping me reach my decision. Sooooo, i have rang around afew of the internet brokers, namely The Deal Negotiator (Sidlow) and Broadspeed (Listers), Sidlow responded first so i rang them and they told me they could get me a :-

SIDLOW
Leon TDI FR
Luna Grey
18" Wheels
Mats and Mud Flaps
OTR
for 16477
for collection

LISTERS
Leon TDI FR
Luna Grey
18" Wheels
Bluetooth
Mud Flaps provided but not fitted
16950 delivered to my address

Now the chap at Listers checked the V O T visual online tracking? and he told me there were just two Luna Grey on the system that were available, the one above and another with Convenience Pack and Winter Pack which was 500 quid more. He also told me of a price increase (160 quid) which went live afew days ago and perhaps the guy at Sidlow forgot to include it in his quote and also made me aware that unless Sidlow had one in there stock it would be a factory order and would be a long wait!
Sidlow did state that it would be approx 10 days but could be longer which gave me the impression he was covering himself, and Listers said there car was in the country, on the system with all the spec i wanted except with added bluetooth which from what i have read, is a worthy option.

I'm just paranoid about trusting any car dealer of late after my last two car purchases turned into nightmares, so any advice would be really welcome!
Keep up the community spirit


Thanks in advance

Can't help on the online side of things, but definitely get bluetooth, even if you're not going to use a phone in the car. The bigger MFD (display) is more than worth it, imo.

First of all i can recomend bluetooth i have it on my FR and its excellent!!, I take it the online dealers are not local to you so i would (did) go to other more local dealers and haggle, you may have to be flexible on the spec to get one quickly. Today is a good day to buy or tommorow as dealers are always more flexible at month end, even better at the end of a sales quarter (now end of june) Haggle hard and good luck!!

Ok its a long wait but I would still get a price for a "new" car. I was very happy with Plymouth Seat who where less than £200 compared with the best internet price and I also got a set of floor mats. Finally it had only 7 miles on the clock.
