Hot Car Deals, 26 FebruaryBig cash savings on Ford Galaxy and BMW 3-series
26 February 2010
Save nearly £6k on current Ford Galaxy stock
The new 10-plate registration arrives on Monday, so what better time to find a great deal on a car?
We've searched the web for you and discovered massive cash savings on the Ford Galaxy, great discounts on the new BMW 3-series and 0% finance on any Seat Exeo.
Save nearly £6,000 on Ford Galaxy
The current Ford Galaxy is about to be superseded by a mildly facelifted model with new engine choices - and while factory orders have all but halted, the introduction of the revised version into the UK keeps getting pushed back.
Therefore, if you’re in the market for one of Ford’s stylish seven-seaters you might be interested to know that Online Cars has pre-registered examples available at discounts of nearly £6,000.
The retailer has 2.0-litre TDCi turbodiesel models in a choice of Zetec or Ghia trim and in various metallic paint finishes. Zetecs from £21,549 represent a £5,781 saving over their £27,321 list price, and Ghias at £22,840 instead of £28,821 are £5,981 cheaper. All come with Ford UK warranties.
Buy A Car has big savings on BMW 3-series
2010 BMW 320i Coupé - £3,400 off
The BMW 3 Series is also set to benefit from a series of midlife tweaks in the next few weeks - so look out for deals on existing stock of the current car.
Buy A Car, however, can already save you money on the new version. It’s offering 2010 320i petrol Coupés in SE specification for £24,435 - a £3,410 saving over the recommended retail price of £27,845.
This is the entry-level variant, but it’s still a good saving on a BMW, and the lack of diesel power matters less on a sporty coupé than it does on a saloon or estate.
0% finance offer on new Seat Exeo
0% finance for Seat Exeo
Finally this week, Seat has some new offers on its Exeo saloon and Exeo ST estate - just in time for the 10-plate registration in March.
As a re-engineered version of the previous generation Audi A4, the already offers substantial value for money. And for March Seat is offering 0% finance across the range (excepting the entry-level S specification and 120hp engines).
You will need to stump up around 40% deposit, and terms and conditions apply.
Alternatively, there is a three years/30,000 miles free servicing offer for those not taking advantage of the finance package, while selected approved used examples will come with two years' free servicing and 12 months' MOT insurance for no extra charge.
All offers end 31 March 2010.
Hot Deal hunters please note:
Not all brokers deal in UK sourced vehicles, and this may have an impact on standard equipment and warranty levels.
The term ‘pre-reg’ or ‘pre-registered’ refers to vehicles that are brand new but already registered with the DVLA. This means that you will appear as the second owner in the V5 registration document.
Beware of unscrupulous brokers who tell you that they will have to retain the V5 registration document for a period of time after your purchase of the car. Vehicles sold this way may be cheap, but there are numerous legal implications and should be avoided.
With regards to all of the above, always make sure you in order to ensure you are making an informed choice.
