A new Hyundai 10 for £7250 - what's the catch?
A local dealer has a few four week old 15 plate 1.0 solid paint Hyundai i10 for £7250. They are also willing to include a space saver wheel if I sell my part ex privately. They say the cars where pre-registered at the end of May to hit a sales target. The car is bottom of the range but has all the kit I need; it is in a solid colour but I prefer a solid colour as they are easier to repair. What is the catch for buying a pre-registered car? Is the deal to good to be true?

The catch is that you are effectively buying a second-hand car, first registered a fortnight ago and warranted for 5 years from that date. Not much of a catch. And with a spare wheel thrown in I'd bite the dealer's hand off. Go for it.

Stylish and good quality interior. Roomier and more mature than its predecessor. Very refined for a small car. Handles well and good to drive.
