Default Fiesta stock

Hi All,

Because i'm planning to purchase an LX when the good old Laser is nearly running out of rego, i wonder how much stock there is of the Fiesta.

I plan to buy an LX in Sub-Lime, so if there is an waiting period, i might have to visit the dealer a bit earlier.

Regards,

Rob

I think the LX isn't so bad. The Zetec however has quite a large wait. I remember early November was quoted when my cousin was looking back in late September.

With Sub-Lime, I'd make sure you view the colour on the car before deciding to go ahead.

Well, I waited 1 week for my WQ LX. If you're not opting for those unnecessary add-ons, it wouldnt take long for it to be delivered!

Yeh, with Zetecs, it's not worth the wait... no matter how much better it is than an LX. I think someone in here was ordering a Zetec and the delivery date kept on getting pushed back.

I think it's much better. I just love the way they look... I've seen so many WQ Zetecs in the Inner West of Sydney lately, and they seem to be ever increasing in numbers too!

The number of ppl owning a Fiesta increases in general, I see more n more people driving Fiestas whether it's LX, Zetec or Ghia (Why... just why buy a Ghia)

I saw a WQ Zetec in Panther Black in the area, and it looks great! I also came across an exact same car as mine yesterday.... waved at the driver

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I was actually already thinking of asking the dealer to give me a call when they had one in so i can see the colour before i order one myself.

Regards,

Rob

Rob

Yeah, I bought Sub Lime sight unseen, but it's certainly grown on me. I didn't think it was available on Zetecs though...

If you want any pics, send me a PM.

Hi,

It is available on the '06 models. The only colour not available on the Zetec is Colorado Red. Thanks for your thoughts about Sub-Lime.

I dunno what day and what time he went, but when I was there I couldnt get decent picture of cars, people always get too close to them... sitting in it etc etc.
So I took a lot of pictures of engine bays

Anyways... i didnt like this colour.

Um, no. You wait till 9.30pm to take photos of the cars. Like that, there aren't too many people in your way.

And, no Clio this year.

Rob, I'd have to disagree with you. That colour was ugly. What the hell is with aqua? :jab:

Did anyone (Teki or Ivan) take a photo of the Fiesta Colour display at the Motor Show, as it will confirm what will and when be available. I was too busy with the glove box.....

No, unfortunately I didnt take pics of the Fez colour display. :/ Hmm what could be interesting about Fiesta's glove boxes. But I know that with the green Fiesta, someone had to wait 30 minutes before he/she can play around with the head-unit.

Was also taken with a phone.


DAMO, are you saying that the green in your picture is the same as the 5door? Because, I don't think so. But then, if you aren't... it's 3 new colours then, not 2.

Does your brother work in Real Estate Damo?

Only three? I'll double check... should be going to the Motor Show again this week.

Um, so he does? Dunno... saw a guy that looked like you, hence thought it might be your brother.
