You'll find the the IX35 is built in europe. If we use the same argument how many parts in a BMW are manufactured in Europe (not just assembled)? Do you know? How many in the IX35 are? I don't know the answer to either but i'm not kicking off how someone else chooses to spend their money.

As to the original poster.

My local dealer has a used IX35 in casa white (4wd) with 1 owner at above list price at the moment due to the demand and difficulty in sourcing new ones (especially white).

Other info i thought you might be interested in:-

The list price of the IX35 is due to go up £700 2wd and £1000 4wd as of the 1st of November (So i'm told).

On the face of it i assume this is to align the vehicle more with the Kia sportage pricing (but that is just my asumption).

If you really can't wait then autotrader and hyundaiapproved do show a few (new or 1 owner) vehicles kicking about if you are flexible in terms of what you want but not many have the "individual" pack on them.

I obviously have no idea what deal you negotiated with the dealer but if you are prepared to ring round / travel there are a few out there to be had.

Before anyone asks:- I don't work for hyundai, i'm just looking at the IX35, sportage, Kuga and Qashqai because one of those is how i think i want to spend my money next :-)

Andy Bairsto, you really are an arrogant person. For the record i have an ix35 premium 4wd in white, it drives and looks ten times better than the 2 year old 1 series bmw i traded it in for. Hyundai are a big player now and have some great cars on the road and about four new models due next year . Its very insulting when a car people have paid in excess of £22k for is called rubbish. I bet you drive a £500 Knacker. It seems you have a vendetta against anything not built by brits. I've owned enough german cars, and many others to give an accurate opinion of what quality is. karl.

AB,

The standard of your English is comparable to your knowledge of cars.

Your little “look at any street” scenario where you compare German cars to “far east motor” only goes on in your head or that of someone who is as unintelligent as you are.

Congratulations on bettering yourself and getting that 3 series you strived for.
