AncientFordOwner Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Being old and ancient I ordered a Titanium Automatic with everything apart from the tow bar this week. Having been forced off the road in Guernsey, on the way to the ferry home. On a Sunday evening it punched a inch wide hole in my tyre with zero chance of repair. I now only feel comfortable having a Mini Spare Wheel. My dealer said no problem and added £150 but said it will reduce the size of the mega box which is okay. Has anybody else been offered a Mini Spare Wheel or has one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizP Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 When I went in to the dealers to order my Puma I was all set to order the spare wheel as an add on option. When I asked the sales guy he laughingly said when was the last time I changed a tyre? Answer never, as a damsel in distress I'm always likely to call the RAC so that was that, the conversation never went any further. PS I didn't know there were automatics on the market?

AncientFordOwner Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 I bet they didn’t use the same argument “when was the last time” when trying to sell you minor damage protection and gap insurance 😀 The 7 speed automatic appeared on the price lists last week and are now on the build and price calculator on the ford website. I have been impatiently waiting since last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizP Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I didn't fall for the gap insurance but did go for alloys and tyre protection as I am or was, always dinking the mini's alloys.😥. Didn't go for the paint and interior protector either, hope i don't live to regret it! Ah they said the automatic versions would follow at some point.

I'd opt for GAP insurance over those, but I wouldn't get any of it from Ford. Ala offer the same cover for under half the price. Alloy cover is always lovely to have, though!

DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hi. If it's of any help we offer a 12 month product called Total Loss Protection. Whilst it's not exactly the same as your traditional GAP insurance we feel for some customers it can make a cost effective alternative. Please feel free to take a look if you wish. https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/extras/total-loss/ Regards, Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
