Does the prices you have include metallic paint? it is normally on option on DTD and you add it on after...if not then were looking at £1047 disocunt? The question from me would be...how close do we need to get and when do you want it (financial incentive for quick turnaround)?? Keep me informed and if you need my price just ask.
Note though : if a sales person is presented with a sheet saying the DTD price and you say "match it" then he/she wont even try...try the "i'd rather have it from you...but i need somewhere close, he'll try his best for you then....
Hope any of that helps...

Thanks Ash..
The prices I am looking at is for a flat car. I'm looking for Milano red if I go for a TypeS-GT or
NHB if I go for an EX so I'd have to allow for pain extra on the EX.
I have just been and test drove a TypeS-GT and found the performance fantastic (3rd gear is electric) BUT there was a cage full of trim canaries squeeking their arse off in the dash once the AC turned things cold and the rear suspension sounded like a bag of marbles under the boot floor. This demo car had just 1800 miles on the clock so I'd hate to think what she'd be like at 35,00 in 2 years time when I've still a year left to pay.
Really upset me because I really really wanted to fall in love with this car and strike a deal.
I'm taking an EX out tomorrow with 28,000 miles on the clock from a neighbouring dealer to see if the TS-Gt was a dud or if it's the norm.
As for the deal.. Before my test drive I told the salesman that I've no desire to talk about list prices as I am a cash buyer (private finance no PX). I gave him the DTD & Broadspeed quotes and told him that these were the ball park figures we'd be talking about... I'd rather do a deal locally but when there is upwards of £1300 to chew over I could easy do the deal with a broker and service the car locally... and let them take the warranty work.
Also a bit of a shock to see a fully spec'd up EX i-
vtec (lether, rear camera, sunroof) with 600 miles standing sticker price of £15495k with just 5 months since registration....said to be £20k+ list.
