    Any reputable online broker should be able to quote you at least £1000 off a new i10. Try carfile, drivethedeal, etc.You won't get offered a dealer discount with just a casual enquiry though.
    My sole dealer experience has however been very poor (went with a friend for a booked test drive, and they held us up for an hour doing a sales/finance pitch, then, because the office printer wasn't working, they couldn't print out the test drive disclaimer form for signature and so refused to let her test drive it!).
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • I own a 2009 Mini Cooper S, wouldnt recommend it to anyone. But the Cooper S is plagued, the regular versions are better... but not by a lot.

    I wouldn't buy new. For price, second hand i10s vary across the country. One that'll cost a bit over £4 k in Glasgow would be over £5k in London. I travelled a 900 mile round trip to buy one recently, and well pleased with the bargain.

  • Any opinions on Motorpoint ?? Ive seen several I10's up to a year old for what seems resonable prices.
    How does the warranty bit work though? If theres a problem with the car do I take it back to Motorpoint or my local Hyundai dealer?

    Motorpoint are just like any other car supermarket - they won't know anything about the car, probably ex hire/fleet. No reason not to take it though but give it a careful check over anyway. Refuse to pay anything they try to add to the sticker price.
