(G) JTD Dynamic - good buy ??

I've been looking on a car buying website and a local dealership has a 1.9 JTD dynamic 04 reg but with delivery miles only 3 door in a metallic maroon colour for £8499. What is the difference between the dynamic & other jtd's ?? and would you consider this a good buy, I reckon its a good deal myself.

Dynamic tends to have more goodies. JTD a good buy if you do a lot of miles, and plan to keep the car for a decent number of years. JTD does hold more value in general than petrol equivalent, but only about £1k based on Parkers etc, so if you can get a 1.6 for £6.5k your paying £2k over, say you get £1k back on re-sale, then how quick will you recover £1k in fuel savings. A few years anyway. So bear that in mind too.

All 3door JTD's are dynamics!

I paid £9500 for mine brand new, but that was a while back now, not sure you could match it now

That is a good deal. I just paid 8.7 for the same with 11 on the clock. Admittedly it gas got a rake of extra's like full sky roof, 17" Abarth alloys but I would have had it without them without hesitation.

Seems to me that your paying about 1k over the odds because its from a Fiat dealer.

Id look around at other non-fiat dealers or even privately, as the car would still be under its 3 year Fiat warrenty should anything go wrong.

Id pay 7.5k tops.

If you do buy it privately, then the warranty still needs to be transferred to you via a local FIAT dealership, for a fee, and they need proof that work/services have been carried out properly.

Cheers everyone, went to dealership this afternoon, they bloody sold it but the salesman is going to have a ring around tomorrow to see if he can find another but this time in black. My missus is going to have my current Stilo (1.4) and i'm hoping to px or sell her current car.....anyone want a Mitsi Pinin??? lol Thanks again for the info it gives me a bit of an insight into whats what, Steve

Would that have been Wilson in Epsom by any chance? Was there myself yesterday, nothing much took my fancy.

Don't know where you are in Surrey, but don't ever bother with Bishops in Guildford. They make it easy to not buy a car from them by seemingly not having any sales people. Clevland Cars in Ash are OK, but I don't know if they'd do a good deal. Over in West Sussex, Wilson Purves (Ifield in Crawley) are pretty good. When I enquired about chaning to a Dynamic JTD Stilo in March (when my Punto's head gasket went) they immeadiatly offered a discount of £2k off a new one. Not that I'd buy a new one, but I go the impression they would do a deal. And the servicing was always honest with them...

When i was buying my abarth, the dealership wanted £95 to swap the warranty to me! I refused to pay that and they knocked the cost off the price off the car, also got tax thrown in and a free service. If a dealership isnt willing to deal, walk away. its a buyers market, there's plenty more cars out there to choose from.

I think Fiat have discontinued the Dynamic JTD. They appear to only come in Active JTD or Sporting JTD variations now. Basically identical specification to the Dynamic, but lacking alloy wheels.

Daylight robbery it costs about £20!
