We've had our Panda Easy (my wife's car, but I drive it whenever I can find an excuse to do so) for three years now. We've been thinking about replacing it this year, before we get too close to the end of the 48 month finance deal. After having a serious look at a Hyundai i10, Mrs Paul decided that she still prefered the Panda over anything else, so I was dispatched to do the negotiating. She wanted a heated windscreen and bluetooth, so the Lounge was the logical choice as we would have had to spec too many extras to have these options on another Easy. I've always liked the Lounge and regretted not getting one three years ago, but finances were tighter then.
I went to the local Fiat dealer this morning and, for once, I feel as though the purchase was executed according to plan. I already had a range of quotes from Carwow, and after a bit of negotiation, they agreed to match the best price I had from a dealer 30 miles up the road. I had researched what our Panda is worth before hand and they offered top price according to the CAP valuation. With all of that in place, I couldn't really say no, could I?
The dealer said the wait for the new Panda (a factory order) would be up to three months, which seemed a long time. I think the Easy took 6-8 weeks, but it was three years ago now. So my question is... has anyone ordered a new build Panda recently? If so, how long did it take to from order to delivery?
