mines gone to code 16 i know its a long time yet but am v excited- does anyone know if ESP is a total must ? how will it help me ?

Apparently fiat offer a 7 day temporary cover, the dealer only old me about this today when he called me. It basically means that they can sort out car tax etc without me having to give my insurance a definite date - they know It'll be next week but can't guarantee me what date it is. I didn't have any choice of reg but that didn't really bother me - just can't wait to get it now!

No they didn't charge anything - apparently fiat offer a free 7 day 'driveaway' insurance. It's really good cos I havn't got a definite day for collection - just some time next week, so they can get tax without me having to give my insurance company a date for my insurance to change over

Not may options to choose from tho. Only 3 colour choices! Really wanted Leather interior, but was told it's not an option. Oh well. Looks nice tho!

My Fiance ordered hers on Sat 25th July and received a text message saying that the car will be in the UK on Saturday 10th October!!!!!!

 

[MissR]

Txt is a nice touch, kind as if the car is speaking to you, lol. (or am I just odd) Going to ring for status update today now you all have me so excited. Ordered mine on 8th of June so hoping it will be here in time for Sept 1st if others are getting the call already!

 

[Ali 500]

Go on ring the dealer hopefully you will have good news. Ordered mine 8th June and just rung my dealer. Car in the country, sat waiting for customs clearance, should be with dealers next week. I feel that the end is near

 

[MissR]

Just rang, he told me 3 weeks (which he had told me 2 weeks ago! lol) Just hoping it comes for the 1st, don't want to have to retax mine etc...
