davester's 2017 Berlingo Van

[davester65]

Just a quick pic of my van in it's current state, before I add a few extras when I buy it from the leasing company in a couple of weeks. So currently just a stock model 2015 Berlingo Enterprise 1.6hdi 75.

   

I'll update the thread in a few weeks as the extras go on :-)

Here's how she looks with the Roof Bars fitted.

Sorry mate,

No idea how that happened, there is of course no reason why I would do it.

iPad or system may have done something weird.

Deleted my s**t.

PS. Thank you for giving me a negative reputation feedback, just lovely.

You stolen some one else's thread Grizz??

Aaaarghhh!!! :-)    Why is buying a used van for private use such a hassle? (I'm not self employed or VAT registered and it causes loads of problems) After bouncing to and fro with the lease company for about 3 weeks we couldn't agree on a deal........even though their asking price was very very good..........so I walked away and will be handing it back when the lease runs out in 3 weeks. So I popped down my local Citroen dealer today to see if they could offer anything better, expecting to come away with a sore backside.........how wrong I was!!.......came away having ordered a 2017 Berlingo Van with look pack (colour coded bumpers, front fog lights etc), pre registered (17 Plate) with delivery mileage only (<100 miles) at a silly bargain price........almost £7k lower than list price and £3.5k lower than normal dealer price.........Absolute Bargain.........and it's the add blue engine too....which should save me £150 - £200 a year on fuel costs....Bonus :-)

Will add pics of mine as soon as I take delivery, in the meantime here's a random internet pic of what I'm getting.........:-)..........new shiny stuff......yes please!!

I'm confused, (doesn't take much) how can the van be £7k lower than list price but only £3.5k lower than normal dealer price.... surely that must mean the list price doesn't exist and is made up


So how much is the silly bargain price?

Confused the hell out of me too :-)    and I would entirely agree that manufacturers list prices deserve to be in the fiction section!!

Citroen UK website lists these vans as.....from £16,590 (basic van), (incl VAT) + fees (OTR Package, PDI, RFL etc...guesstimate £500)

I just paid £10,800 (incl VAT) on the road (incl 1 yrs RFL @ £240), which includes the 'Look Pack' (£200)

Ok, maybe not quite a £7k saving, but definitely northside of £6k and i did say 'Almost' :-)

Only downside is it was pre-registered in June 2017, which means it will be about 3 months old when i get it and i will be the second registered keeper.......I can live with that :-)

It's all smoke & mirrors mate, and the list price is obviously just a figure for the dealers to throw around to confuse us 

Sounds like you have done ok on the price    hope you enjoy your new van.


I take it you will be putting the roof rails on it from the other one.
