Ordering new custom

[Mrmonsta]

Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster

I’ve had a 2013 (63) 125 panel van for a few years. She’s been bulletproof but clutch is a little heavy and I’ve developed tendinitis in my left knee. Figuring it’s time for a change, I popped into a couple of dealers to see about an auto. It appears they’re too new for a good choice on the used market so I looked into a factory order.

I’m looking at limited, L1H1, 300/320 series panel van, 170ps auto with a healthy options list;

Colour chrome blue
Headlights bi-xenon
Integrated roof rack
Ice pack 24
LED loadspace lighting
Twin AGM Cyclic Durable Batteries (HTCAF) - 2 x H7 80Ah, 800CCA
Conventional spare wheel
Rear view camera with trailer hitch assist
Adaptive Cruise Control (includes Lane Departure Warning, Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection , Speed Sign Recognition, Auto High Beam Assist & Driver Impairment Monitor)
Driver alert
Lane keeping alert
Pre collision assist
Rear tailgate
Towbar

I’ve been quoted around 28500+vat by one dealer, 30500+vat by the other (starting prices)

My question is; has anyone else bought one in similar spec, what sort of price should I be aiming at from the dealer?

Just got my Orange Glow, with a very similar spec to that. (300 L2H1 170 Limited with loads of options) Cost me £28,300 inc vat. (waited 6 months though) Used Autoebid. I dont recommend them, they were not good with communication. Had to constantly chase them every week. But the price was great. RRP from Ford Was 38K which is a joke of a price for a Van.

Got mine from new car discount 2.5 years ago. Very pleased with the service and price.

They are currently showing around 29% off list price
