My First Berlingo!

[classixuk]

Hello everyone.

It's my first time here and I am GRINNING :D from ear to ear. I can hardly write as I am so excited! I'm not nuts (honest); my first Berlingo is arriving at 10AM today (it's now 2.38AM). I literally cannot sleep. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. I have never been excited about getting a car in my life! I am so glad I found this forum. I can now type Berlingo faster than any cowboy in the west thanks to the amount of searching I had to do on Google to find this place. I almost gave up to be honest, but I'm glad I didn't.

 

I've been admiring the Berlingo for a while now and promised myself that when my present car was 3 years old I would consider the Berlingo as my next vehicle. The anticipation of waiting for my car to age a bit sometimes drove me around the bend. The more and more I read about the Berlingo, the more and more I wanted one. Well, finally, my car is 3 years old.

 

I couldn't afford a new Berlingo and to be honest, I've only bought new twice in my life and promised I'd never do it again because of depreciation. I have never owned a Citroen before either.

I've jumped into the Berlingo club by purchasing the (old) new shape Berlingo Desire 1.9D, registered December 2002, with 28,000 miles and full service history for £4,550. I have a feeling that I may have the bargain of the year (the dealer had the car down as the old 02 model spec and I did not inform him of his error until after I'd paid up).

It's being dropped off at 10AM today and I cannot wait to drive it. God I hope the dealer hasn't ripped out the multiplex wiring and sprayed my bumpers black! :lol:

I have a feeling that I'm going to back here with lots of different questions about my Berlingo over the next fortnight, and I am relying solely on you lot to prevent me from making any awful mistakes.

 

If everything I have read and heard about the Citroen Berlingo is true, here's to a long and happy relationship between Citroen and me.

 

Thanks for reading!

 

P.S. I am soooooo excited!

:blink: :unsure: :blink:

Hehe, the classic "getting a new toy" syndrome - I was the same (just had a new car at the weekend).

 

You'll love the Berlingo, is an amazingly practical vehicle!

Welcome aboard.

 

You'll never want an ordinary car again once you've owned a Berlingo.

 

And if you ever have a doubt that you made the right decision.

 

 

Do some gardening :unsure:

 

 

 

 

 

Then take all the rubbish down to the tip in one journey :blink:

Echo the previous comments - welcome

Just bought myself a Bling Multipsace Forte (2003) HDi from work for £3K - Its to replace my Xantia as family haulabout as the Xant only has 2 proper seatbelts in the back and shortly as my clan will be expanding we will need 3!

 

Hoping to get Cruise control fitted up in the near future and needs a couple of jobs doing to it (towbar ready to be fitted up), this isnt my first Citroen so I am used to some of their foibles... Currently on the fleet is my HDi Xantia (2000), my 1.9 TXD BX (1991) and of course the Bling, i have had a couple of BX's, AX, and a couple of ZX's (all diesel).

 

Anyway - hope I can be of use to people in the future (and I expect I will be asking some numpty Q's about the Bling as time goes on).

 

Cheers - Marty.
