Night heater?

Year?
Tyres at 12k seems a bit strange.

 

[WelshGas]

AirCon 3 zone Climate Control?

 

[zac]

Night heater?

No.

Yes and aux heater.

How long would tyres normally last? I assumed it would need them!

Sorry, 18 plate.

They go for that sort of money - see how far you can drive the price down - might get it for £40k. Be sure you will be buying one of the slowest depreciating vehicles around - the front tyres will go for 20k+ miles - rears 40k

There has been a lots of discussions. £42k is where we are at now.

Sounds a pretty good price for an Edition I'd say.

Rotate and get even wear.

So the tyre goes sideways?

You’ve answered the most important question (night heater / auxiliary heater)with both yes and no.

Apart from the bike rack and the seat it looks like standard spec for an Edition.
If you intend to use it all year round you'll be needing the parking heater option which I don't think the Edition includes.

I don’t think I did but it wouldn’t surprise me!
No parking heater, just the aux heater that comes with the 3’zone air con and comfort dash. It is pretty much standard spec for the edition.

You are right, i have been looking for a white or two tone with the right specs, this hits nearly everything apart from the heater. Considering retrofit. The other option is waiting till end of December which a can do if I wasn’t so excited and impatient!

Well the terms are interchangeable and the source of much confusion and disappointment. The separate heater than can run all day is regarded as the most valuable Beach option. Everything else is just to help engine efficiency in the cold although can be used (did require a coding mod) to be able to heat cab for 20 mins max.

Just had fronts replaced at 20k

What is the option at the end of December?

 

[CALI FATE]

The retro fit parking heater is a neat job if fitted professionally - plenty info on here about it - the retro fit webasto is cheaper than the factory fit so i wouldnt let that put you off - just get it

I have the money now, I’m ready to buy, December is my kind of deadline when I’d want one by.
I may be wrong, but I believe December would be a good time to buy a vehicle from dealers but with 6.1 due, it all depends if there are many t6’s for sale.

I did learn that from this forum. It’s been so useful.

How gutted would you be if you didn't find anything as good as the Edition?

Go for the Edition now and retrofit a heater or wait until December and possibly get a better vehicle?...

It's a gamble. How much you like the Edition and how you would feel if you lost it should give you the answer...

Be careful though as nearly new second hand stock may be running low by Christmas time.
