Thanks for the tip. I saw some references to Autotorque on another website as well.
As to the finance, I'm not sure if it's a guaranteed figure or not. Haven't spoken to them yet. But from what I've seen a 2 year old 111s has to be worth well over £14K. Probably more like £18-20K so the risks seem low. Drive the deal has £2K of the purchase price though, which I'd be giving up if I went with a deal like this.
The value of my 330i has sunk like a stone to the point that I might as well keep it till Sept 09. I'm not going to save any money by switching to a 320d because they are worth virtually the same as a 330i
So I'm warming to the idea of an elise and the options are:
1. Wait till next years bonus and buy a used one for cash
2. Borrow some money to buy used now and pay off with next years bonus
3. Buy a new one on finance now and pay off with bonus in 2 years time.
The problem with no: 3 is that I'll also be thinking about paying off the 330i at that point. However, I am really liking the lack of depreciation on the elise.
I had another look at the 135 that you posted. Saw it on Pistonheads and it looks nice. Unfortunately it's in Bournemouth so bit far to sort out right now.
