New C-Max selling already

We have now taken our first order for the New C-Max and it isn't even in the showroom yet. The customer Mark made his decision based on the reports he has read and finally the revue by Honest John http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/ford/c-max-2010

This letter came in from Mark today after placing his order

Dear James

I was on the honest John website looking at the review of the new Ford C-Max, i was soimpressed with what i saw that i had to have one.

I was pleasantly surprised at the deal put together by Buckingham Ford, considering it is a brand new model, not even released.

It was all made so easy for me.

Thanks

Mark

New C-Max arriving soon

Press release BRENTWOOD, Essex, 6 September 2010 – Ford's all-new C-MAX will go on sale in the UK in October, priced from £16,745.

Both the sporty but spacious five-seater and the Grand, a versatile seven-seater, come with a simplified two-series line-up – Zetec and Titanium. Prices start from £16,745 for the CMAX Zetec and £18,745 for the C-MAX Grand Zetec.

With almost two-thirds of UK buyers in this segment now seeking seven-seat flexibility, the Ford Grand C-MAX becomes the spiritual successor to today's model, which was also designed to maximise practicality. Priced from £18,745 for the 1.6-litre petrol 125PS Zetec, the Grand offers family-friendly flexibility, with the extra utility of twin sliding doors, versatile seating and improved engine efficiency - and all for just a £250 premium over today's model.

The Grand Zetec with 115PS 1.6-litre TDCi, the anticipated volume seller in the UK, is priced at £19,745 - £750 less than the outgoing equivalent. The five-seat model will appeal to customers seeking more space than a regular family hatchback, but who do not want to sacrifice sporty design or driving dynamics. On the road prices start from £16,745 for the 1.6-litre petrol Zetec.

Mark Simpson, marketing director, Ford of Britain said: "When C-MAX was launched in 2003 it preserved all the brand's most important qualities including style, comfort and driving quality, but added more flexibility and space to the Focus package."

"Since then the market has expanded quite considerably with customers expressing a variety of needs. These are met with the family-friendly seven-seater and the sporty-but-spacious five- seater.

The new Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX are priced to offer customers best value for money whilst still introducing many exciting new technologies which will feature on the all-new Focus due next year," he said.

Standard equipment on all models includes alloy wheels, air conditioning, leather steering wheel, Thatcham category one alarm, DAB radio/CD and Bluetooth with USB connectivity and voice control. Grand C-MAX has powered child-proof locks on the rear dual sliding doors, and rear parking sensors.

The Titanium trim supplements these features with auto front wipers and headlamps, dual electronic automatic temperature control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, hill launch assist, keyless start, cruise control with speed limiter, premium Sony audio, and tyre deflation

detection system. The Grand C-MAX Titanium also has power folding mirrors.

Customers will be offered a choice of three petrol engines and two diesel engines. Making its debut in the Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX is the all-new four-cylinder 1.6-litre 150PS Ford EcoBoost engine which comes with a new six-speed manual gearbox. This gearbox also accompanies the 1.6 TDCi and 2.0 TDCi powertrains, which are jointly projected to account for around 50 per cent of sales. For those preferring an automatic transmission, the dual-clutch Powershift six-speed automatic option is available with the 2.0 TDCi powertrain.

New C-Max arriving in October

Ford's redesigned C-Max line will go on sale in the UK in October, priced from £16,745. The carry-over five-seater and the new seven-seat Grand will be launched in a simplified two-series line-up –Zetec and Titanium. The Grand Zetec is £18,745.

"With almost two-thirds of UK buyers in this segment now seeking seven-seat flexibility, the Grand C-MAX becomes the spiritual successor to today's model, which was also designed to maximise practicality," Ford Britain said. The Grand offers family-friendly flexibility, with the extra utility of twin sliding doors, versatile seating and improved engine efficiency - and all for just a £250 premium over today's model.

The Grand Zetec with 115PS 1.6-litre TDCi, the anticipated volume seller in the UK, is priced £19,745 - £750 less than the outgoing equivalent.

Great to see so many happy customers

It has been so nice seeing customers both new and old taking delivery of so many new and used cars, these last two days. And even better to receive emails like this below:

We took delivery of the Ford Focus which you had expertly procured on our behalf and we wish to thank you for making the whole process apparently so efficient and simple for us.

You may remember that we arrived at Buckingham Ford having made a telephone enquiry to you stating our requirements. This was after we had received such poor service from another Ford dealer in the area who has, even today, still not contacted us after our initial enquiry to them.

In contrast it was clear that Buckingham Ford had prepared for our visit and we received enthusiastic and prompt service from you and we are most grateful to you for that.

Yours sincerely

Signed

Mr & Mrs A C Pain

If you are not getting the service you deserve, you may have just found the place to come, you didn't hear it from me, this letter is from a new customer who hasn't bought from us before.

New 60 registration plate arrives today

The new 60 registrations are hitting the road today, early indications are very strong, we have more cars going this first week of September, than we have in the last 2 years.

I am not sure what this indicates, apart from the fact the offers available are very strong on new Ford cars at present, even to the extent we are showing customers buying on finance a saving over some nearly new models.

Have a look at the great 60 plate deals on our new car page

What the Uruguayan Linesman means for you

Well he meant everything to us yesterday, but today is just another of those days following on from being knocked out of a major football championship.

But hey we should be used to it, we put up with it. It happens every time, but on the good side its 30 plus degrees out there, we are beating the Aussies at cricket and we still have an interest in Wimbledon.

While it is 30 plus out there remember you don't have to put up with the car being that warm, most of the special offers on our website, air conditioning comes as standard. Or if you already have Air con and need to improve it we service and recharge air conditioning.
