What did you pay for your Mokka?

We have decided to buy a Vauxhall Mokka. I know there are alternatives, but that's what we have decided on. The local garage is doing £5k off a new one, making it £12700. We could then either do the pcp at 4% over 3 years and pay the rest of then, or a 5 year loan at 3.4% to cover it all. We intend to keep it for 7-8 years. Currently have a car worth £100 that also kept for last 6 years. It's done well and got it pretty clear (£1700), however, it's our family car and had numerous breakdowns, is now on its last legs and I worry I wouldn't get so lucky with an older car again. We visit family quite a lot so a newer car would be better. We have considered one a few years old, but they are not much closer cheaper than this deal.

If you have bought one, how much did you pay?

    how much is the same car (same spec) from drivethedeal, broadspeed or carwow

    that will give you an idea wether you are getting a good deal.

    I have just bought a new leon and managed to beat the cheapest price from the brokers, took me nearly 3 months of hunting around dealers though

    Mokka X - late 2016
    Despite the new name, the X is essentially just a facelifted version of the current Mokka. It gains an updated exterior, a new engine and a more comprehensive list of technical features. Might explain the discount.

    I think the fact you hardly see any Mokkas on the road might explain the discount, if the manufacturer is selling in the numbers they expect or need then discounts are hard to find.

    Though historically Vauxhall dealer do give sizeable discounts.

    Another vote for checking the Brokers first.

    Why?

    Because they want one, surely that's a good enough reason.

    Can you not just accept that?

    Bit of the green eyed monster showing itself?

    If they want a Mokka and are in a position to buy one then why should anybody feel the need to judge?

    I think you are confusing Mocha with Mokka.
