My dealer rang me today to say my RRS (TDv6 HSE Rimini Red) will be delivered on 15th December (nearly 2 weeks earlier than planned) . The excitment is mounting, but I now have a few decisions to make. The dealer wants to know if I want him to treat the vehicle to a Diamondbright finish for £299. He says it will keep the vehicle looking like new for years. I think it will just add to his profits. Is this a worthwhile option or not ? Also what "extras" have others managed to get their dealer to throw in, such as floor mats, tank of diesel etc

By the way the Merc E320cdi estate avantgarde 51 plate 90k miles is still for sale ........ no reasonable offer refused

Hi Smarticus

Dont bother with the diamond bright paint treatment its just a load of old tosh Had various sorts applied to a number of Audis and made not a blind bit of difference. Plus its a waste of time if you change your cars regulary. The dealer will not give you a penny more when you take it back to part ex. SO NO is my advice

Hope you enjoy the RRS. If you get any extras free you'll be a better man than me! A tank of diesel will probably be it! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

If you can't get a full tank of diesel out of them just try for a £70s worth tdv6se owner since end of sept 05

Don't bother with DiamondBrite. Just invest nin some Zymol or Zaino polish.

As you correctly assume, Smarticus, this DB finish really does nothing more than line the dealer's pockets. It seems to be a LR-wide upsell pre-delivery. I managed to get some mats and a tank of fuel thrown in - you will be lucky to get much more than that I think (not because I'm any sort of bargaining demon, but just because there's no need for LR dealers to work to get rid of RRSs right now).
