Hello, I'm a new member from Rotherham, South Yorks
« on: March 22, 2021, 11:56:16 AM »
Hello

Just got my first Honda Jazz 2018 SE manual drive on Friday in Sunset Orange colour. I'm very pleased with it so far.

It was registered in June, 2018 with just one lady owner.

I bought it online from Cazoo with 12000 miles on the clock, it's in great condition both inside and out.

It cost me £9200 all in.

Drives lovely. It was fully serviced in October and Cazoo  says it gives them a 150 point service check  and you get 90 day warranty and RAC breakdown cover. They can sell you a 1 year extended warranty for £299 after that if you want, but I will wait and see before then.

Never bought a car without physically seeing it before. I tried out my friends Jazz before hand and me and my Mrs
decided it would be the best practical option for our retirement. We are both 66
I dislike haggling with 2nd hand car dealerships: it's all a pantomime, so this option suited me well, when you know what you want to buy.

The purchase and delivery to our home from Cazoo was first class, the staff great and no complaints.
You can return the car after 7 days at no cost if you are not happy. I will be definitely keeping it.

The bodywork is in great shape. No dents/scuffs. Looks like new.
I did spot half a dozen tiny stone chips which I fixed with a Honda Sunset Orange touch up paint pen kit which I bought in advance. I have read that Honda paint is very thin and Honda are known for not being generous at splashing on the paint, unlike say VW.

I bought a 15"spacesaver wheel and jack tools from thewheelshop for £100. This clamps in to the bottom of the boot
fine. I dislike the supplied puncture repair kits they all want to give you these days.

As suggested on your forum I will make a support frame to go over the wheel to support the boot carpet. I was not prepared to pay £300 ish for the  overpriced official Honda one, despite the better foam plastic support-do they sell this plastic bit seperately ?
The official one for our last car, a Kia Picanto, was only £150 with jack tools and plastic holder/support which was more reasonable.

Rant over!
Love this forum, and it will be great to read about other members'  experiences and views/opinions.

Regards

Phil

Welcome. I purchased a new crosstar a couple of weeks ago from the dealer. Doing everything online. It was easy with no issues in the end. I was originally sceptical about doing it this way with no test drive etc. Although I did have a new jazz as a courtesy car when my HRV was serviced between lockdowns.

Sounds like a good buy to me, welcome to the forum  8)

You sound dangerously close, I was born in Rotherham and brought up a few miles outside!  ;)

Welcome and thanks for sharing your experience with Cazoo. It goes against the grain to buy a car this way but I think, increasingly, this will be the future especially as more dealerships close.

Welcome Phil
nice to read that you are excited and happy with your purchase,it sounds a very good way to purchase  a car especially in lockdown with this blessed Virus making us all look over our shoulders so to speak.
Two  of our cars are Sunset Orange I like this colour is can be seen in a car park easily and better still requires very little washing in winter the dirt doesn’t show to much.
Anyway good luck with your new car.I am sure you will be very happy.

Hello Phil,

Similar experience, I'm 66 and bought my first Honda last year a 2019 SE Jazz manual.
Pleased with mine, it's an easy car to drive and like you I bought a spacesaver spare to replace the puncture repair kit.
It's a friendly forum so if you have any specific questions then just ask

Derek

It will be alright in the end, if it's not alright then it's not the end !

Welcome to the forum.  8)

The spare was a wise upgrade.

Hope you enjoy your new Honda.

Thanks all. Just to mention that Cazoo had the car Mot'd early prior to the sale. The registration date was June 2018.

Hi Phil,
Another new member here. Like you I got a 2018 Jazz last Friday and already polished it to see if there’s any chips etc. I only found a tiny scratch under boot door, otherwise perfect so well pleased. I only found out today it has the OEM space saver and undertray so a bonus eh?. Has the Honda boot tray, mud flaps and sill kick plates so whoever bought it new didn’t scrimp on the extras. It’s a lovely Shining Grey which should look cleaner then my last Jazz. It was Black and I swore I’d never have a black car ever again!
Hope you’re as pleased as me. They really are great cars.
