Mine is still showing as being in Flushing, was expecting it to be delivered by now. Anyone who had theirs delivered recently know if they turned up unexpectedly?

I know mine wasn't too recent, but I got the call from my dealer on the 2nd Jan saying my Vignale was awaiting shipping, and then got a call on 9th Jan saying it had just arrived at the dealer, and the dealer sounded as surprised as I was.

Pretty sure I heard mention of some vehicles had been made and stored just awaiting seating to be fitted when it was available.

Maybe some of these were stock models etc,this could be the reason that some vehicles were built and delivered very quickly?

If you add optional extras do you declare them as modifications on your insurance when you take out new insurance ?

Depends on the insurer.

To my knowledge, if it’s factory fitted, then they are with most insurers, linked into your registration plate so don’t have anything to declare. It’s only once it’s left the factory that you have to start declaring, so if your dealer added on parking sensors for example before they gave the car to you, it’s still a modification as it wasn’t like that when it left the factory.

Looks very nice but...... I would have been livid if they had put ours on a 67 plate. Strange thing to do.

Why di you not ask them to hold it until the new plate? I did! If they told u it had to be registered at time of ordering.....they lied!

Off topic a bit but...


Does anyone know if the new ST-Line X will have auto folding door mirrors (i.e when you lock and unlock the car)?

Yes, they do.

Just ordered a 140 ST line and have been quoted the 20th April for delivery!

 

Does anyone know what the differences are between the "sports style seats" and those fitted to the other models in the range? They look identical in the pictures!

 

Thanks

Off topic slightly but can't see the point in starting a new thread.

How much is a reasonable price for a Titanium X 5dr 100PS with self-parking, door edge protectors, adjustable boot load floor, BLIS, Driver Assistance, CD Player, LED headlamps? I've been quoted around £18,500 via brokers. Just wondering if this is a mad price? Seems a lot to me.

First off, as others have said, go for the LED headlights. Standard lights on the Fiesta's are Halogens.

 

I'm guessing that by ordering with all the options available, there won't be that many people that you can compare your quotes with.

 

I've played around with quotes on the ST Line X and found that some of the options were far less desirable when I got the end quotes. Do you really want the CD player?

 

**Edit** I see that you've also posted on OcUK forums :wink:

For starters they are partial leather..... that's what the delay on production was about.

Has anyone received an ST line (X) mk8 yet? Or have any info on expected delivery?

My dealer says there is a parts shortage and Ford haven't even scheduled my build yet  - despite taking my deposit in August :(

I can see the fabric/leather is different yes. But are there any differences in shape? Larger bolsters etc?

 

Thanks

All I would say is go for what you want otherwise you will never be totally happy. You get one chance when ordering a new car and you don't want to regret not having had this or that ! I got the t-shirt on that one 25 years ago

What colour did you choose as different colours are different prices?

I paid about £15,800 for my titanium x 100 5 door from a broker, with the options of deep impact blue paint, drivers assistance pack, park assist pack and variable boot floor.

The RRP for mine was £20,210 so at £15,800 my discount was around 22% for reference. 

If you picked a premium colour (£495 option) I believe the RRP would be £21,410 for your car as described. Which at £18,500 is about a 14% discount off the RRP. 

Obviously the savings vary from broker to broker so it may be worth looking around a bit more. I compared lots of different deals and went into some dealerships. Some good deals to be had.

I would have preferred to have gone through a dealership as going through a broker comes with its own problems but none of the dealerships I visited would even consider getting close to that figure.

Wouldn't really have a clue about the seat difference on mk8 fiestas. Again they an improvement on the 7.5 and are very comfortable.

Hi mate,

That's with "Metallic" which as you point out is premium. The only standard colour is red but I really don't fancy that! Would have liked "Deep Impact Blue" but they've discontinued it!
