- Under what premise are the couple i30N FLs driving on the roads already (before homologation)? At least one probably with a special permit as a prototype. But there's more than that, e.g. the one guy who tuned it already. Why are they allowed on the road, but no test drives with dealer-owned cars?
this one is easy. these are called "red plates" in germany. You can put them on anything even if it isnt registered. Those are handed out to dealers, workshops, tuners, etc.

And I think the ones you've seen driving around already are running those red plates.
 
I just heard of a well-known one that from Monday the facelift is for sale and can also be registered from Monday in Germany and she is going to register her Facelift on Tuesday (Monday is Holiday). She just got to know that from her car dealership

Does anyone knows what engineering changes occurred between i30N Performance and i30N Facelift Performance in terms of engine, turbo, etc?

I mean, how can a stage 1 got the same engine as before to 370ps?
 
Been given a finance quote by a dealer in the UK for a DCT model with N Light seats in Performance Blue, couldn't get my head around the valuation of the car at the end of the 3 year 10,000 miles/pa agreement, the final payment was around £12,000!? There's surely no way this car is going to devalue that much in 3 years? The pcp really doesn't seem to be that inviting even with a £3000 saving!

Same, glad it’s not just me. I was getting PCH quotes for £550+ p/m which is extortionate really, which is more than most more ‘premium’ options.

I wouldn't mind paying the monthly figures aslong as it was worth more than the claimed £12,000 at the end of the agreement but there's obviously no guarantee of that! 3 year old I30N's are still around £18000 on auto trader, if not more

When I bought mine on PCP, it was going to be £9.2k at the end of three year with the exactly same terms you were quoted. That was an approved used car though. Needless to say it didn't plummet that much. I've personally played around enough with PCP and don't see it as an appealing option anymore.

My own (admittedly limited) experience of PCP deals makes me think that the option to buy price is deliberately set at a low price to encourage you to buy the car at the end rather than just return it. I bought a Polo GTI with an option price of £8,300 when the market value was nearer £11,000. I therefore had to buy the car and sell it myself so I wouldn't lose the £2,700 difference.

This 'profit' should therefore be factored into your decision along with your deposit and monthly payments.
