These people claim to have a yellow 1.4 sport for £8999 but I remember reading somewhere that someone phoned them and they didn't know anything about having any 500s.

Not really the colour I was looking for (Black) , so if I can find another one I'll sell it for the same price

If you to p/x, then the deals will be different.
The GP deal is on GPs, they have too many of them unsold, not a situation with the 500, yet.
ps, please try and type in English, I struggle with your language.

With only 4500 allocated for the UK for 2008 I don't think you have much chance of a deal from a dealer. When I was looking for mine I tried Broadspeed and got offered £400 off price. I also tried www.autobid.com and they got me £588.00 off which included their fee of £100 + vat so actually £470.00 discount. This was discount off of the extras as well as the retail price.
The reason I don't think you will get a discount is because Broadspeed rang me a week after I enquired and asked if I still wanted to buy the car. I had already clicked on the link to the discount deal and now the car was at the full £12220 price inclusive. I said "what's happened to the discount" and was told that due to high demand the Fiat dealers had stopped offering them any discount. I asked them why I should buy a 500 from them at full price when I can go to my local dealer and get one for same money. They couldn't answer that one.
Anyway, bought mine through autoebid and collected it on Saturday from Fiat dealer and loving it to bits.
So what you're saying is that the 2,500 additional people that ordered cars before the end of March (Fiat had taken circa 7,000 orders by then) and every single person that orders one for the remaining 8 months of the year won't be getting one?

That's what I was told. I suppose it all depends on who is telling the story and their motivation. I know when I picked mine up there were several in the showroom for sale which would seem to suggest that maybe stock wasn't as limited as I was told.
Also, the removal of the discounts indicated that there would be a shortfall in expected numbers. Perhaps production has now been ramped up, after all if you believe the newspapers, a lot of skilled Polish workers are returning home, disillusioned with the state of our country.
As an aside, whilst I was at the dealership, they were also having the showroom split into two, one half for standard models and the other half for Abarth so looks like that little beast might be appearing soon.
Mydealer told me they have taken over 100 orders, but actually delivered less than half that, despite having stock cars that no one really wants. He said the problem appears to be that as the 500 has so many factory fit options the chances of a dealer having the exact car someone wants are slim.
i think the 500 will be very sought after well past xmas as there is no real ad campaign going on so most of us by driving round in the funky fiat are causing people to realise there's a new "cool car" in town so i think this will keep order books filled and clear some of the dealer stock
