retrogeezer Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Don't know if this has been picked up on yet, apparently the same deal was available on the Dodge Avenger a couple of weeks ago: Should be able to get one in 3 years time for about a grand! http://www.broadspeed.com/kiaspecial.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't know how they can get away with saying that, it's a 5% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogeezer Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't know, I guess the 'list' price is £15 odd grand so you are getting 2 for one but a bit daft when one car can be bought for 45% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 TWO? I wouldn't want to be buying one of them, never mind two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I bet they've got minicabbers battering down the doors. This was discussed recently betwixt myself, Mr Seth & Mr Torsten... just HOW cheap could you pick up a brand spanker at the moment... Good time to have some cash & a secure job (of which I have neither) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Of course even with a secure job and cash (Idon't know anyone with either) why would you buy a piece of shit modern car when perfectly good cars can be picked up for what is in effect the price of a reasonable night out....or less! I have not actually driven my modern company car for days now because my autoshite collection is giving me reliable joy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Well that is a very valid point. Horses for courses really. Though at this time of year the increased likelyhood of a fully operational heater, and a quiet relaxed drive home after a day mooching about some desolate, windswept shit-hole is much moar tempting!

Father Ted Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I have to say - its getting to that point in the year now where my 40 mile commute isnt looking quite so rosy on the bike. Sure I can get to work in half the time it takes one of my girls, but i arrive sodden, frozen and developing piles.Motorbiking in winter=I would even love a Rialto so long as it had radio 4 and a working heater.

Richard Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Is the Landcrab/Princess the only example up to now of a transverse straight 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
