Yet Another New Car (Well on order)

[Jezh]

My 430d was fully maintained and wasn't leased.

Is that an extra on PCP then?

I don’t know, it was included on the car when I bought it and carried over from the previous owner. (The MD of the dealership) Even punctured tyres were covered.

Don't think wear from smokey elevens would be though

There were some good lease deals on these, and he mentioned it was fully maintained, which isn't something I've seen mentioned except on lease cars.

Ahhh sorry, things have changed. Going to PCP it then pay off the following week now. Got a maintenance package for first 6 service's chucked in although that doesn't cover tyres. Seemed like a better deal overall and the car will be mine.

Ah, I see. Really surprised they can't do all the registration stuff before 1 Sept and deliver it to you early too, so you can drive it on the day.

I know it’s me but I have answered this...

[Jobbo]

Oh, I didn’t realise you worked for a Kia dealer now Dinny. Jez did say he could have it on a 19 plate if he wanted...

[dinny_g]

If had insisted on a 19 plate, he could have had it early...

[Jezh]

Picked it up this morning and took it for a schlep around the Beachy Head loop. Love it!

[Coaster1]

You even had crowds lining up the roads cheering you on!

Did you win a race or something?

Lol, it was a coach load of old dears, all standing right next to the edge Perhaps their time had come!

[Broccers]

Forgot it was new regs, guess only count in 18/19/20 in my head

Looks ace - a mate of mine was sales manager at Kia for a while and raved about these - wouldnt lend me one for the weekend so never tried it out.

[Mito Man]

Can see why, probably the first good car to come from Kia

[GG.]

Looks great in that colour. Waaay better than the red ones all the press demonstrators were painted.

[Rich B]

Why do Kia keep on going for names that begin with S!?

Ki Ass stinger
Ki Ass soul

[Mito Man]

Fuck knows, it’s odd when manufacturers do that though. See Aston or Lotus or Mini. Then they inevitably end up running out of names so you end up with shit like Evija or Valkyrie...

[Jezh]

Got to be honest, I don't really like the name, would be much better if it was a Kia GTS I think. However, you can overlook it purely based on the way it goes, VFM and all the kit it has as standard. A similarly spec'd BMW 340i would easily be £10K+ more than I paid for this.
