How does that work? Did you get the car for the same bottom price, but with an effective higher discount because the climate and met paint were calculated at their normal prices?
Funny you should ask - I only saw a breakdown of the price when I was collecting the car and, being a little excitable at the time, I was paying scant attention to the paperwork. I must have a copy of the invoice somewhere, though. [:I]
IIRC the list price for my car was ~£17500 and I paid ~£16000. The DtD website allows you to select the ECC/paint option at £250 but the notes for the A2 on the site say that this option will, infact, cost £750 - still £500 off the LP for those options, though. So, as you say, the discount - over and above that you can get from any dealer wrt. ECC/paint - is in the region of £1000.

What's the auto dimming rear view mirror like? Any use? Does it ever get confused and dim during the daytime, or when your passenger switches on the courtesy light to read a map?
To be honest I've not noticed it working - or perhaps I should say, I've not noticed it
not working which, I guess, is the point of having it [8D]. It has never dimmed during daytime - I suspect it is able to sense the ambient light level in some fashion... perhaps it can use the light sensors in the stereo's fasica? Fortunately, the wife hasn't switched on the courtesy light to
try reading a map: wife-nav is markedly inferior to sat-nav
. I've got a torch in the car - I'll try it this evening just to make sure it actually does something... [8)]
