Like sex for the first time, it wasnt well planned and it was all over and done with a lot quicker than I expected.
Been looking for several months, gauging prices and so on. Anyway, eyes alighted Sunday afternoon on a Nissan dealer selling a 30Kwh Acenta, March 2017, mileage less than average, one previous, exactly what I was looking for really. Except it has 6.6 charger which I couldnt care less about. Too far to just go for a look, I had to rely on pics and vids.
It was already a 'sporting' price, but managed to get a modest haggle, I have no bargaining skills, so I was happy enough. Had to tweak the young ruffians ear and give his hair a good ruffle when he agreed to my offer and then tried on the "Oh and there is of course the £130 admin fee that we cant avoid." That lasted about 30 seconds at which point he agreed it could be avoided and we compromised on my offer all in. The whole thing done via email, easy peasy!!
I know I should have haggled harder perhaps, but it comes with everything it should, both cables, 12 month dealer warranty (OK I know they arent that amazing, but better than nowt - I hope!) and hopefully it should have been fully checked and they should sort out the Nissan Connect thing.
Hoping to collect Saturday, natch I will be viewing and driving it first to ensure I am happy, I have been assured the deposit (paid with CC of course) is fully refundable should there be anything about it that I dont like. We'll see!!!
Now just got the fun of sorting out the charge point, that's almost more complicated than the damn car!!
Wish me luck!!
