    There no discounts available.  A few sites claim to be able to offer a discount, but you won't get it.

    Best you could hope for is a slightly inflated p/x valuation to clinch the deal.

    Don't forget the VAT cut means GPA prices are a little lower than they were at launch.

    just been looking at there site, they say it will be supplied by a uk dealer. perhaps the dealer wants to sell discounted cars without advertising who they are.  will investigate more and google them to see if there genuine.

    There are quite a few people getting a whiff of this offer right now but I don't see how it's possible!? If you spec the Abarth in Scorpion Black it comes back with almost a £4,000 saving!? It's gotta be rubbish ???

    Also it's impossible to contact anyone direct by phone/email which is a bit strange.....

    Bless them, I had a PM about Broadspeed yesterday.
    Up until about 3 years ago Broadspeed could and would sell you a heavily discounted Fiat. The did this by going to a dealer and getting a fleet deal on 50 or so cars of the same model and varing colours. This would entitle them to a huge discount and at that point be able to sell you a Pre registered (never new) car with a sizeable saving.
    Fiat got wise to this practice and no-one is allowed to supply broadspeed with any fleet deals. Broadspeed continue to offer stupid deals to get you to ring them and they will then try to sell you a slightly older model that they have manage to source from auction.
    As there have been no G.P. Abarth sent to auction as far as I am aware, then you will not see one from Broadspeed.
    What you will see is a £500 bill on your credit card (your deposit) and a gaping hole in your driveway where your car should be but isn't.

    You wont get your car from broadspeed just lose your deposit because they will never be able to deliver the car. If your serious about getting the car flash your cash its a buyers market at the moment. I didnt get a discount but i got a real good P/X price.

    I was real unsure as to if i should get the car, but let me tell you and i think everyone will back me up but it really is a great car for the money. Everyone who i work with are amazed by it even a type R driver.

    So join the club and get one even at 13500 its a bargain...

    I've read you can get 40mpg fairly easy. so 35mpg giving it some boot is very good. I live in derbyshire and the type-r was to hard for the roads round here, in fact a mate had a clio sport without the cup suspension because of the bumpy off camber roads around here.
