The dash colour is free, the orange seats come with a grey dash. Green is OK but the cross is bronze, u'd suit bronze.
Go for the cross, call it scuba-tank

ive been looking at the Fiat motor club, as they do a group annuity scheme for members
them figures above are fantastic.

I know nothing about the FMC & group annuity scheme. So I cant recommend that route.
IAM sounds a wise route.

ok so great. i pay £25 a year to be a member of the fiat motor club and that gives me approx 20% off of a brand new car............they say if it sounds too good then its not true lol

The privilege deal shows the following for a bog-standard Trekking:
On the road - £12,795
Fiat contribution - £3250
Customer deposit - £132
Monthly payment - £132 x 48
Optional final payment - £3609 (includes £285 fee)
Total payable by customer - £9945
Fixed interest rate - 0.45%
APR - 1.5%
Note that the shorter the period of time you buy over - say 36 months rather than 48 - the lower the amount of interest you pay overall (although the monthly payments are then higher, obviously). But with such a low APR on the Trekking, it doesn't make a helluva difference tbh.
The annual mileage you enter in the configurator is only relevant if you plan to hand the car back at the end of the contract period. If you don't, just put in an annual mileage that produces the best outcome in terms of monthly payments and interest paid
WITH REGARDS TO VARYING THE MONTHS ON THE CONFIGURATOR WHEN WORKING OUT A DEAL ON THE TREKKING USING PPS: IT DOESNT REALLY WORK AS YOU HAVE TO ENTER 1850(REPRESENTS PPS-FDC) PLUS UR SMALL DEPOSIT AND I ASSUME PEOPLE WANT TO DRIVE THEIR NEW CAR, SO 12K MILES, NOT MUCH PLAY WHEN MANTAS INTEREST WAS £1.68. TRY IT.
IT WORKS A TREAT WHEN THE CAR YOUR PLAYING WITH STARTS AT 3ish% APR

until 31dec, it saves you £1850, as fiat are already giving punters £1400 fdc.
If your old car was a fiat, you get a 500buck loyalty bonus plus the trade in value.
I'm still planning on getting you to go for an amazing cross. They are like little tanks, until they break down.
I assume u meant trekking when talking about colours on another post, as sunset red is not available on the cross. The metallic light blue is amazing in the flesh, and rare and good for resale.
I think you'd suit a black cross or the bright yellow one.
Why not go for the 4x4, not much more cash and you'll never miss a days work due to snow. Think about that, the other nurses will be wanting a lift from you coz your wee panda is unstoppable!
On a serious note, pick ur own car, look after it and have it for many years. PCP deals really work if you plan to buy. I was brought up thinking that only rich people buy new cars, thats p1sh, they just want the normal man to buy their 2nd hand rubbish.
The figures i gave u will change a little bit when a dealer enters them in via the pps, in your favour. If they move in to negative interest, it wont work,. You'll then have to reduce the miles or the deposit until i does.
Anyhoo... Where has my sunday gone?

i really like the cross, but tbh im not sure i really need a cross, and although its not much more but its silly spending extra on a car that i wont benefit from when ive got my house to do up, not keen on the 4 x4 as they are dearer road tax, the odd time of year i get stuck with the snow i think [hope] the trekk will do me, otherwise cant see the use for the cross....as lovely as it is
and yes i would go for a yellow cross...black nah boring

OP

The metallic light blue is amazing in the flesh, ...............really? as on the fiat page the colour looks drab
yes sorry ive taken up your sunday, but i do appreicate it
I did say do not use the fiat website to pick a colour! Use real pictures. The metallic green is horid on the fiat website. Why I don't know, ask fiat.
I know nothing about IAM either. It just sounded like the correct route and was advice given by others.
I was entitled by one of the fiat advertised routes, not FMC nor police. Are you related to any NHS employees or police employees?

so annoying as up to a year ago i worked at the NHS
however, i see the british cycling club offer the scheme as well, ive emailed the fiat motor club so i see what they say
so can i check ive got this right................
i get a voucher for this scheme go in with it, and fiat take this money off of the car and i still can get the low cost interest finance????
OP
OP
So when are you buying this trekking? Get it done.
Are you a car washer? If not, don't get a white car. Real photos on this forum will show you how nice the sunset red is. There was a guy who got one recently that was a sunset red trekking, have look. Try google for the light blue.
If u wait til march u can get a 15plate. Buy a cool plate with what you've saved. If you were from BR15TOL , now that would be cool. Being Scottish , I want TH15TLE but both have been put up as auction only, dvla are on the ball.
Remember we wanna see pictures of the pimped up trekking when u get it.
Fun to help

im off to egypt tuesday for 2 weeks, BUT when back i shall get into sorting it, will the offer of the same discount still be about for march??
now im even more confused with what colour, i was thinking white to save money, but looking at google pics it hard to choose, arghhhhh
ps you will see plenty of pics no worries there, dont think i can run to a per plate
OP
OP
Where did you read about the voucher? Voucher not needed to go into the dealer. Voucher is only requested when you have had the dealer enter your figures and u want to continue.
I haven't completed the whole deal as yet, so I don't how it works when the car arrives.
Fiat give the deal a deposit contribution. The finance is virtually the same as the normal deal.
What about the England netball team, any chance you could get in the team? The legoland route is not bad.

The FDC amount changes every 3months. It will either go up, go down or remain at 3250 on the 1stJan. If it goes up then u have a result, just order it in 2 weeks, the finance deal can be changed during the wait, I've been told.
The configurator APRs can change also. Especially when fiat are trying to shift particular cars. I have seen the trekking vary. It was once 0.9%apr 0.06%fixed.
Join what you have to join, get the membership card through the post, then get ur arse down to the dealer. I think its best you don't talk about the fiat forum, just know that ur entitled to saving this money coz uve done some research. I don't think u have to dress in a netball outfit to get the money off.
I have already got my plate bought for my cross. It suits a panda and a 4x4 Cross.
