[Price] What can I get for £13500?

[Chris-B]

I'm looking to buy a Type S in November, but my limit will probably be around £13500.

Will I be able to get a Type S GT for that money in November?

Hondas being very reliable and all that, I'm not too bothered about age but I am bothered about spec. I'd prefer an older but better specced model basically.

Is that asking too much? or am I living in a dreamworld?

Price of this little beauty is now £12800 , but you need to be quicker than November!

I think he'll have difficulty here seeing as he's in Cyprus
Interesting price comparison, if nothing else

Says he's based in Brighton?

Ahh...sorry...you mean Chris-B...I missed that as he was asking in pounds sterling and not euros.

PS...Mind you, he may want to buy over here and drive back to Cyprus as they do drive on the left there.

[Chris-B]

no, i'm not based in Brighton. it's a glitch with the forum, I'm Chris-B but if you click on my avatar it takes you to Chris_B's profile who is from Brighton i assume.

I'm in Cyprus at the moment and I'm posted back to the UK in November

currency is United Kingdom Pounds

'Posted' I assume means with the forces?? if so, have you not looked into forces discounts on new???

[ghowarth]

Surely that nice red one is not a GT as it has no front fogs?
I drive an EX so don't know too much about other specs.....if you buy a type S does it not come with the type S badges on it??
Im confused!

I bought a 11 month old Type S GT for less than £13k in Feb from a franchised Honda dealer.

The new ones don't look too bad but they're still very dated looking, and there's a new facelift out soon and a new model not long after that so I'd steer clear for now!

Check out arnold clark for a pre reg type s im sure they were 12500 or 13000 for a diesel not sure if they pre reg gt's though

[gjackson]

Honda gave a load of Type S's to staff (mainly petrol) in Feb/Mar 07. The majority of which were distributed across the dealer network (and Motorpoint [spit!]) late last year and early this year, meaning there were some real bargains about. There's still a few about.

But everything is extra, i even think they charge for the steering wheel! No, seriously its a good looking car outside, but i was very disappointed with the interior. I'm sure it would last a life time but it looks so basic.

Im in a similar position, coming from a ZT which does have a lot of kit on it and i have a similar amount to spend, so im looking at an EX.

how would I go about this? Just walk into a Honda dealer and tell them I'm in the forces?

[dorsetlad]

How about Emergency Services ie Police ?
