Ordering a 200

[nicknameless]

second hand - save a fortune for the same car?

I have the same dilemna

I am on the verge of buying a brand new RS200 with the following spec.:-

• Full fat RS200
• Ultra Red or Racing Blue
• Cup chassis
• Black Speedline alloys
• Bluetooth audio upgrade
• RS Monitor
• GT spoiler
• Cornering headlights

I am going for the 4+ option with finance, servicing, warranty and breakdown cover but......should I save some money and track down a nice, low mileage used example?!?

What do people think?

Most definitely yes. Let someone else take the hit of instant depreciation. Unless you're rolling in it, it makes absolutely no (financial) sense whatsoever.

No offence to anyone who has bought new, but IMHO it's like burning a few thousand pounds, on any new car.
