Hi guys!
I'll keep this as short as possible;
1. Had a car accident with my 8month old blue my11 SX
2. Insurance said its a write off and I get paid 24k
3. I want to buy another SX,
I paid 23k for my11 and it came with bluetooth, mats and fuel tank. This time around i'm going to bargain in some more extras like tinting, can someone tell me how to go about asking the dealer to do this and what I can ask for
Also, should I wait until the MY12 comes out and buy the newer model? I did a quick search on MY12 and I didn't see the SX listed as a MY12 car.
Cheers,
Kam

hey mate, sorry to hear about your car! but try going in and asking for the MY12 'ACTiV' model. it's somewhat par with the MY11 SX because its inbetween the ES and VR.
They don't advertise it because there aren't that many ACTiVs produced, but it's pretty much just an ES that the dealer beefs up for resale. It includes things like raised spoiler, side airdams, leather steering wheel, chrome exhaust, 16" alloy wheels, bluetooth, reverse sensors and stuff
Sounds like it ticks off in some of the parts you wanted!

Does your insurance policy include new-for-old if the car is written off in the first year or two? Mine does and i have had the discussion with my dad (who works for the company I'm insured with) and he said if the SX is deleted and mine was written off they would replace it with the next level up, as replacing it with an ES would be compromising resale value.
Something worth investigating with your insurer
