ds3 by benefits

[chris h]

Hi All, help for this newbie please, i am in the process of buying a DS3 Dstyle by benefits, but the vehicle does not have any of the logo's or badges indicating it is a Benefit limited addition, am i being fobbed of with a Dstyle plus?

Welcome

What colour combination is it? We can start the jigsaw puzzle there

I think there was 4 options

Ruby red and white
Grey and Orange
Black and grey

And the white cabrio

Do the mats have the Benefit logo on?

Hi, it is a white cabrio, with black wing mirrors

The mats don't have the logo on either, it is being registered as a 65 plate, and the documents say it is a Benefits edition.

As far as I was aware the white cabrio had pink mirrors



'Externally, the model features a Polar White body, with a black fabric roof and Fuchsia Pink touches to the door mirrors and wheel centre caps. There is a ‘Gabbi’s Head’ logo on the ‘Shark Fin’ B-Pillars and a Benefit badge on the rear, also in Fuchsia Pink.

The ‘Stay Flawless’ theme continues inside, featuring bespoke black velour floor mats with Fuchsia edging and an embroidered Fuchsia Benefit logo. The dashboard, air vent surrounds and gear stick cap are finished in gloss white trim, with Benefit’s trademark ‘Stay Flawless’ black and white polka dot design on the upper part of the dashboard. The key fob also features the ‘Gabbi’s head’ logo, with a Fuchsia Pink insert.'

Problem is, the wife loves it and wants it, but we are buying on PCP,and if it is a lower spec than they are claiming, then the value in 3 years will be lower.

Okay, according to my data there is only two in the UK, which dealer are we talking about?

[chris h]

Bentleys, warrington

Bentleys, warrington

Same place I got mine from too.

If this isn't real it's such a shame as I had them down as one of the good ones.

Right okay if the VIN is EW639728 then the car is listed as a Benefit Edition. I would speak with the dealer in regards to the badges and mats if you want them, the only other thing is I doubt you would get the makeup bag now from Citroen but ask your dealer to speak to Citroen.

Hi,my concern is that I come to hand the vehicle back,and then I am challenged by the PCP company that the various features are missing,then I am charged to put them right,even down to the colour coded keyfob

Yeah I'd be concerned about that too - as Biggie suggested I'd speak to your dealer about all the bits that you think are missing
