Hi All – Newbie here who’s decided what he wants , but needs advice as to what to do next ( or who’s telling the truth) please
Looking to order a new W212 E350 CDI Avantgarde on a personal contract hire ( MB call it personal lease). My existing PCP contract expires 1st Aug, so I need a new vehicle mid July ( as needs to be collected, inspected etc).
I’ve now been confused by having two stories from different people –
On-line contract hire/leasing broker tells me that I have to order quickly ( pre Easter) to get a factory order built for end of June delivery. They state that if I want July delivery it will be in new quarter and price will go up by £25 per month ( and possibly lose some benefits such as free 3 services and free metallic)
MB dealership won’t give me a quote now and states, come back in June when we can give you firm price. They say that ordering in June will be fine for July delivery ( even though I’m very specific about colour , options etc )
My problem is, if I go with what broker tells me I will have to take delivery end of June and end up with two cars ( and two monthly payments for one month) , or face higher monthly charge that’ll take me over budget . If I go with what dealer tells me then I have to trust that they can get me car in right colour with right options at right price in less than 6 weeks.
Anyone any info as to which story sounds more plausible?
