£15,999 at the first place I looked for the 2.0 version, usually find it cheaper than these with a little digging

Think you'll find at that price it may well be a Euro-import rather than UK supplied (Virgin don't tell you until you contact them, so it's difficult to tell but it's more in line with Tradesales than broker pricing). Not necessarily a terrible thing...think you probably lose some of the warranty as Peugeot's is 2 yrs + 1 yr dealer warranty...but you would take an associated hit when you come to sell it.

For me, 0% finance was worth a further approx £1400 - how much it's worth to you will vary according to how much interest you would have otherwise paid on a car loan/accrued on money in the bank.

The OP has got a good deal, assuming that it's the spec they want. Given what I'd been told about their margin, I'm struggling to see how the dealer's actually making any money on it - is it pre-ordered stock thats gathering dust out front? Actually, I thought at first that it was an absolutely stunning deal (compared to what I just paid), but then realised that it was a manual rather than auto - for some reason e.g. Virgin are unable to get these.

307 reliability is a worry. However, what I would say is that having had a 307 as a courtesy car for the last month while my wife's CC was built, there isn't a huge amount of commonality between the 307 and 307CC (unfortunately from NickBooth's comments, the dash electrics is one of the common bits!)
