Nice colour combo - same as mine, but you made a better engine and wheel choice

Spec looks good but i'd personally dump the night vision for surround cameras and harmon kardon, and/or drive assist plus. Personal preference of course, but if you live in the sticks and need to watch out for elk, night vision might make sense.

Gone with the night vision as it gives me something new over my E70. I had the surround cameras on my E70 and never used them. H&K is expensive especially when you are listenming to 192kbps MP3 I live in rural Shropshire so might be worth it.

Understand about the surround view, I didn't order it on the assumption I can park fine, but it would have been useful to get parking right first time every time I think.

The H&K is only £400 more than the advanced speaker pack, or £360 with a decent discount. Good value for a surround sound system, even if the source sucks

With regards to cool new features, the Driving Assistant Plus pack includes active cruise stop n go, and is excellent, and Traffic Jam Assist, where the car drives itself on motorways up to 25mph. Something a bit different but you have to try it to see if you like it. I love DA+, it makes journeys much less stressful and safer.

I got 8% off mine and above book on the part-ex in November 13. Must be better deals to be had now its been out a while, and winter has passed without a trace.

Missed that completely and thought you were talking B&O. Have emailed my dealer to add it

Thanks to Eaglesrest for the heads up,glad you can add the HK option!

Yes spot on thanks. Dealer has emailed back and said he will add it on the order tomorrow

Just had a read of the HK link it has 16 speakers as of the pro sound in my E70 but tuned for better performance,I recall that was about £1K

Just called a dealership spoke to a sales guy about the the F15 and got straight to the point of discounts but got a reply that they can't enough allocations and not much off the the ticket price.

Told him about online brokers who could get 8-10% off he said they're lying and anyways there's no cars left so I told him in a few words not printable on here to go and hang yourself!

Usual tactics but heh no problem one stealer ship off the list and there's the online brokers to play with.

They're all factory orders unless you get a cancelled order. If you are serious I can ask my contact if he's prepared to sell another at 8%.

September is the time I'd want my new car so probably ready to order July/august,will keep in mind your offer worsy.

Just tried out that car wow online broker 1st quote in a measly £1k off the a £69k car,going to contact DtD and have a chat.

I got 3 from car wow

£400
£1036
£3588

Car wow nice idea but need to push harder for bigger discounts,the dealer giving you £400 I would've sent a reply to say they've wasted my time reading their response.

To be fair the discount on offer from VW was good.

Just had one in £427

Guys peter Vardy Edinburgh are offering £2k off straight away on low rate pcp on a basic £52k msport, if your speaking it up to £69k I reckon they will easily go to 6-7% if not more, I bought a new car from them & got 8% off a few years ago mind & got as good a trade in as every where else.

I have been looking on their website meaning to ring them for some prices.

Starting to get tired of the usual lies from the dealers I've rung…it doesn't seem the F15 is selling that great as I ain't seen one yet in the metal,plenty of RRSports maybe that's where I might spend my hard earned instead!
