| 2501.1 | Not out yet (I was told) | KERNEL::LOANE | Comfortably numb!! | Tue Mar 19 1996 17:54 | 7 |
| >Has anybody out there driven the new Rover 200vi?
Nope; I went to the local Rover dealership in Basingstoke to see
about it, and it's not out (apparently) till mid May. The sales guy
says it will be about 15,000 quid...not a bad price. I've been
trying to extrapolate the Lease cost based on current Rover prices
etc....probably 4,100->4300 I reckon.

| 2501.2 | Not now available till Autumn | KERNEL::LOANE | Comfortably numb!! | Wed Mar 20 1996 12:36 | 5 |
| I just put in a quote for a Rover 200vi; within 15 mins I had a
response from Lease Plan (that's what I call *REAL* service!!).
They contacted Rover and discovered that the VVC engine has proved
such a success in the MGF, there are none left for 200vi builds;
the 200vi will not now be available till Autumn.

| 2501.3 | don't hold your breath | CHEFS::MADELEY_T | I'm just F.I.N.E. | Wed Mar 20 1996 20:56 | 6 |
| Don't hold your breath for the VVC. I've been given an anticipated
delivery date of September for my MGF VVC.
Cheers,
Spike.

| And when they deliver it, have a quick walk round and make sure it's
got the right number of doors. I got 5 for the price of 3, but it's
the 216Si not the VVC.

| Re your comments in .2
Chris if the list price is around 15k then the lease cost will more
than pay for the car over 3 years. How can they justify such a
ridiculous amount.

re last few..
It's actually cheaper to lease a MGF, even though its list price is
4K more expensive!!!

| 2501.8 | Rovers VVC | WOTVAX::BARRETTR | | Tue Apr 16 1996 10:36 | 12 |
| re last few..
I would suggest the lease price is so high because availability is
apparantley zero. A friend went to a Rover dealership in Warrington to
ask about one and was told he would have to wait until
September/October because all of the VVC engines Rover can make find
homes in the MGF which is more profitable !!
Then again it could just be leaseplan ;-)

| 2501.9 | Residual values | MILE::JENKINS | | Tue Apr 16 1996 12:54 | 9 |

I think the residual values on the MGF will be much better than
on the 200 and that's why it's cheaper to lease the MGF. Residual
values on sporting 200 series are not good when you compare them
with say MX5s today. The Leaseplan price predicts that the new
200 series will not fare much better than the old one.

| 2501.10 | Wrong Car ? | WOTVAX::BARRETTR | | Tue Jun 04 1996 14:02 | 14 |
| RE the lease cost of the 200 VVC coupe :-
The car you got quoted on is not the Rover 200VI - you got quoted on
the old shape rover 200 coupe which now comes with the VVC engine.
This car is the replacement for the Rover 200 Coupe Turbo it retails at
around ( if my memory serves me right ) 18 or 19,000 hence the silly
quote from Leaseplan. I suggest if you are interested in the 200VI then
check back with Leaseplan and make sure they give you the right quote.
The old Coupe will soldier on for a couple more years apparantly
although it does have a new dashboard.
