Whilst shopping for a C1 for my wife, there it was. An unregistered unused Puretech 130 Feel, resplendent in lazuli blue plus keyless entry, driver assist and parking assist packs saying 'buy me'. And petrol too, as rare as hens teeth unless I ordered a new one. After some research and because of the £4K+ discount, I bought it in March and am delighted with the car so far.

I now know the reason for the discount having discovered ORGA codes. The build date is actually July 2016 and I think the car must have been surplus to the original raft of facelift C4's that were pushed out to the press and to dealers as demonstrators. A number of ex demonstation cars of similar spec have appeared on the used market, but none locally.

I have no idea where the car had been in the intervening period, but there is certainly no evidence of use or deterioration and I went over it with a fine toothcomb.

Am I concerned that my 'new' car was 9 months old? Not really.

It wouldn't bother me either, and sounds like you have a nice car - my only insistence is that it would have an oil change when 12 months old, in terms of build
