Hi all, new member here hoping for some advice from those in the know. Apologies in advance if any of my questions have done the rounds before.
Quick intro for starters. Names Dave, love cars and bikes. Current daily is a 2013 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Econetic and a couple of motorbikes in the garage. Been looking at a new car for the last few months as I paid off the Focus back in March. Always had hatchbacks (a few hot ones) but need something with a bit more room and practicality (work in construction so increased ground clearance is a must).
From talking to a couple of dealerships I am aware of the factory shut down in August and the soon to be released MY2019 details. It is apparent that placing an order at present is nigh-on impossible until the MY2019 info is released. I have been told that I should be able to place an order in the next week or so and that lead-ins are currently 12-16 weeks. Looking at an FR but not overly keen on the color coding. Excellence is a good spec but don;t want full leather and prefer the interior specs of the FR. So, lets cut to the chase with the questions.
1. Looking at a Rhodium Grey 2ltr TDI 190 FR DSG with 36/2 wheels, Alcantara Sports seats, heated windscreen and winter pack. Those are basically the essential add-ons I'm looking at but not sure if this combo is possible? Current brochure shows the heated screen only available on the Excellence, not sure on the wheels.
2. Could I get an Excellence or Excellence Lux with the above spec (definitely don't want the full leather)?
3. Second color choice is Bila White, is this a non-metallic / non-pearl gloss white? Can you have this color on an FR as the current brochure says no!?!
Sorry for waffling-on but hopefully someone on here can clarify? Cheers, Dave.
