DS3 Model Year 30

[Kelly]

Kelly,

Ask your dealer to check the order on Dialog and have a look at the LCDV code, that will tell them if the order is to be 'rolled'. To be honest the factory isn't doing production of the new version until July so if your order is already placed then it's unlikely to be a '30' version.

You could the option to have the order changed but bear in mind that there is a huge cost increase from Model 20 to Model 30 on certain versions.

The dealer got back to me and confirmed my order is for Model 20. He asked if I wanted the order cancelled. I asked for new price and he couldnt give me it. Mine is a business contract hire. Original quote was 189 per month for 24 months for DSport Plus Cabrio Artic steel and infinite blue roof.
He did say that he doesnt expect a big increase in the rates as the residual value wouldnt change and Citroen UK would be keen to get them out there. SO ive told him to go ahead and cancel and re-order blind. Not sure if Ive done the right thing but you know we really want to be driving the latest model whatever the updates are.

I see that the new BlueHdi 120bhp engine that is replacing the 115 has lower co2, better mpg, but is the best part of a second slower 0-60 :confused:

Maybe the gearing has changed for better mpg etc?

CUK have said the lights will be able to order from 1st June, prices available from this date.

[WTF]

It does look that way, I've noticed a few subtle changes but until I get the Model Table I won't be able to confirm.

When can we list the new models? I have a DSire to post!

Be careful there Kelly, the new model is around a £1,000 more expensive then the previous version which is going to have an effect on the monthly repayment or deposit if you are going to 'balance' your payments.

This is the frustrating aspect of it. Your telling me its going to be around a grand more, which I totally appreciate you saying :-) but my dealer justs says they have no idea what the prices are and I go into it blind. I suppose maybe on here its all unofficial but surely the dealer should hint at least. They were adamant the monthly contract hire wouldnt go up much. Really annoying me this mate. Sorry this is going a bit off topic now.

Okay, with a rough guesstimate you would be looking at possibility about an extra £45 per month.

The thing is we haven't had the official notification of Model Year 30 changes to Cabrio which would include the prices but looking at previous pricing structure of the current version to the new version is where the increase guess is set from.

Hi

Looking at your attached document it seems the reverse camera replaces the hifi. Is this the case?

Just seen the Model Range table and there is no change to the Hi-Fi option fitted as standard to Sports.

I appreciate the situation. Damn Citroen for releasing updates and mods! lol. All I can do is wait and see. The dealer is to ring me to see if they can actually cancel. TBH Im kind of hoping they cant now. I will update later with my pain. Wonder if the best way id to have the new lights fitted on a retro fit?

Lol! You can update at anytime you want.

Would you like a copy of the table?

Thank you. Even if you add the camera too?

I really like the new headlights, if they are a straight (and legal) swap I will need to save my pennies !

Hearing around £1000 for the set. Not sure if that includes fitting

Hi...Just heard from the dealer 'Wingrove in Newcastle' that the updates do not apply to the Cabrio as of yet. They are only for Hardtop initially. SO I will have to go by that and keep the current MY20 order for Cabrio. They also said the lights if I wanted them could be retro fit later date if I so wished. I think all in all probably safer to stay as is. Worryingly though they have not had any release from CUK about the updates.
