Thank you fred, very nice. I would like to meet you!

But the chances to meet you fall down......

First time I had a total fault out of my car, as I told you here:

http://www.eurovan2.com/forum/81515-post12.html

Now I got the car back. It was the well known pulley! Ok, I had the tickering sound in last weeks, but nothing strong....

Now I have to discus the costs of repair. Luck that only the pulley, two small other pulleys and the belt had to be changed. No serious problem on the engine, but netherless very expansive.

Fact is: It was my decission to wait for the facelift. I could have turned back the car in October, getting a new old one (with 170 hp in Dezember/January) or a Audi Q7. I wants the new phedra with facelift, so its my turn. They will help me with a lower price (Mitarbeiterrabatt). But be sure, the rate is more I would have paid extra for the Q7 leasing.

Actual condition is, that I have to turn back the car on 28.04.08. Hope nothing more will happens up to this point. But sure is, on 29.04.2008 I'm without my phedra and the new isn't in sight. No possibility to get one in Germany just in time. Official Statement of Fiat.

Situation is: Fiat headquater germany just had ordered cars for the headquater for dealers showrooms as prerealease for markt starting in germany. This cars are not produced yet! This should be in April, but not sure, if enough cars are delievered than. Than the delivery time of 7-10 weeks.

Last chance: If one of this prerelease cars has a configuration I would like, they will do all they could to get that car for me, but normally headquarter don't like such presales before markt starting. If this isn't the clue:

No car -> no meeting!

These times chances are high, that I will take another car, of other brand, if I get an good offer.

So long I had not to pay anything extra (just driving an old car for the price of the new), I could wait in love for this car and his community. But now fun is over....and dealers yards worldwide are full of getable cars!

Sorry to say that, but it seems times are over. Lost in my decission to wait and the fact that no one knows the exact time new phedras are really avaiable. Don't want to make my car to the nerv of my life again.... To late should be to late.

But hope dies last! We will see on 28.04.2008!
