Civinfo - View Single Post - Dealers Buying a Type S GT 2.2 through DriveTheDeal

OK - update - after numerous to and fro calls with DriveTheDeal, I have committed to the following:

Type S GT diesel, Nighthawk Black

I decided to not get the navi & bht and the alloys after finding a nicer set of 18" rims elsewhere AND a replacement fascia (oh yes, it's been made) to allow me to use a top of the range double-din entertainment system instead of the Honda offering. More details on that soon.

So, after processing the order, got the call from the dealership, who told me they have a CANCELLED NHB Type S GT Diesel ready to go in a week, the only difference being that it has been fitted with a handsfree kit and Supaguarded, for which they wanted another £650 on top.

Now, the problem here is, knowing if the Honda handsfree Bluetooth unit can be attached to a third party head unit; because if not, it's no use to me. Also, I've never bothered with Supaguarding a car as I've always taken care of the paintwork myself and so I'm not overly fussed, so I'm really just paying £650 to get the car 6 weeks early.

I told them I will make a decision by 2pm tomorrow so I'm currently thinking hard about it all!
