(G) Repossesed STILO :(

What was the outcome mate?

Well, its defient for this friday! So im just waiting for friday!!

But ive decided to buy a brand new 1.8 stilo if i dont get mine back?! Does anybody know how long it would take to get 1 built from the factory?! Hoping my dealer will match jamjar prices?! Want quite a few extra toys like me old stilo so wont be able to take 1 off the forecourt! But thats only if i dont get me stilo back; which im reallying hoping i do!!

When I purchased mine I was told it would take between 10 to 12 weeks because I wanted panoramic sunroof, subwoofer and mp3 player, but it took around 8 weeks to pick the car up so I guess thats not too bad.

I think for all the grief you've had you might as well purchase a new one.

Also you should be able to get yourself a good deal. I found a great price from coast2coastcars.co.uk and my local dealer beat the price so I saved myself nearly 3k!

Stan..

Dealers if you are well prepaired with all the prices and extras you want on, will eventually match or beat JamJar or other online car dealers prices.

Plus if your going for HP make sure they also match or come very close to the lowest APR% rates at present otherwise you may know the price down but pay it back in the APR.

Hope all turns out for you.

There is a good article in this weeks Auto Express about the scams used in buying/selling cars. It makes some good reading, and much of what it explains is counter intuitive.

Well, its nearly friday now; so fait ull take it cause!

But the website i wanted em to price match was broadspeed.com, they are even cheaper than jamjar and coast2coast! The extras i want are the panoramic sunroof (which i havent got at the mo, but really like the look of), the two tone leather interior (got the cream leather interior in my stilo at the minute and it looks great), also want the sideskirts as i fink they set the stilo off really well and then just the volumetric alarm; which i take it is the 1 in the brio catalogue! took me claws off before they took me car; so wont have to invest in a set of 17's if i lose it! Fink i can be quite cheecky when i haggle the price down with my dealer as ill be paying in cash or bankers draft!

10-12weeks ent to bad; but 8weeks is alot beta!!

i'll put a post in the thread tomo, to let u guy know what the outcome is?!

Woohoo!!

Auction over on friday and what has actually happened is the finance company that are selling the car at the auction have put a high reserve on the car as they need quite alot of money back on it! But the garage was the highest bidder, but didnt meet there resverse; so kinda whats happening is the car is going back in the auction on wednesday without a reseverse and will be released that day to the highest bidder; and the garage have put a desposit on it for there bid, which is only 500squid under what i paid for it! I insistead i went wiv em as i wanted to drive my car back and not have them thrash it, after its been standing for three weeks; so im going on wednesday to pick it up basically!

Good news my friend, good news!!!

give it a very good look over cars can get a bit scratched if left in the auction yard too long,

Great news

great news

Glad its all worked out for you

im going to check it over for scratches, and i should imagion that it has gained a few! But the garage will be paying to repair these's as i already layed the law down to them on this!

Went and got the car back to day! Feel so releaved to have it back on the driveway! (just had to put up with the dealer saying wudnt u prefer that to every bmw and merc that when through!) And when theyve been moving the car around at the auction house they only gone and well it looks like theyve hit a post and scuffed all the paint off the passegers side corner on the bumper and slightly on the pannel above it next to the light Just got to get them to sort this out now At least im a step closer to getting everything sorted out at last, once this is sorted out then ill be a back to being a happy stilo driver again

Great news must be very releaved

Excellent, you should get them to pay "Chips Away" to come and fix the paintwork at your house. I have used them a few times and they do a great job and you don't loose the car for more than a couple of hours.

I hit a tow bar with the front of my BMW when it was 9 months old and Chips Away fixed it. When I sold it the guy paid for a RAC inspection and they couldn't spot the repair, but they did spot some other paintwork which BMW did. He said it was a good job but he still saw it, but he didn't even see the Chips Away repair.
