Main Event Sale?

[Bumskins]

Hi Guys,

I am interested in a Puma Defender and just have a couple of questions on the main event sale.

It looks like the main event sale has just been extended from January 31 to February 29 cut off.

1. But does anyone know when it started?

2. The sale is available on MY11 & MY12 vehicles so its not just run-out stock, which makes me wonder if it will possibly get extended again? what do you think?

3. What sort of $ have you been able to negotiate off the Main Event Sale Price? $39,990 for the 90 & $49,990 for the 110.

Was also looking at the option of a second hand Puma but have been checking on Carsales every now and then, and its quite surpising that most second-hand Defenders are listed very close to the new prices (think a few $K below) and some are actually listed even higher. This is quite surprising when you consider that second hand you still have to add $ for stamp duty & Renewal of Rego/greenslip and thats without even taking into account, age, wear, reduction of warranty, condition, etc. Without extremely negotiating with the seller, their doesnt' really seem to be any value buying second hand.

So it looks like new it is.

Anyway if someone can answer my questions, I would much appreciate it. Thanks.

I went to buy a 110 just recently, but was out flanked by my family.....price I was given, on the road for a 110 was $48,000.00

They really haven't increased in price all that much.
I must have paid close to that in 2001 for a td5 110 - mind you, it had a few extras
My 90 was about $40K in 2005.

I s'pose the value of the Aussie dollar is finally having an impact.

My 90 was closer to 60K.. but it's a limited edition and has extra's.. we were not able to negotiate very much off the price at all (despite having done so with other cars in the past).. you might do better asking for a couple of extra's (sidestep, snorkel etc) and paying the coin they are asking (after all that's a very good price!)..

These prices are less than I paid for my 110 3 years ago. When I bought it the dealer knocked a couple of grand off but then threw in some extra's (bullbar, snorkel and side steps) to get the deal over the line.

I bought my 90 this time last year during their main event sale last year.
It was a saving of $10K.
I paid about $38K plus options.
The deal was to take the delivery of the car before March and anything else after is at normal price.

Thats 10g's less than what we paid in 2007

Had a test drive on Saturday, The sales person told me the sale only included the 90 & only on the 2011 models. They have 2 colours but not the one i'm after & informed me take it or leave it, they could not source one from any where for me .
Looks like i will have to go into state to get a black one.

Cheers

Black ones look great but I wouldn't buy one.
They show up every little scratch (which you will get) and every little ripple in the bodywork - which they come with standard!
