Phil and Teds Classic. Good price?

OK - i know i should probably post this in product reviews but i kind of need an answer within 24 hours or so.. .

I have been looking around for prams that take a toddler seat and went to a certain local baby store today.

I test drove a Phil and Teds classic and am somewhat smitten.( I have only had cheapy prams before and didn't know what i was missing.) I have been quoted a price of $700 for the buggy, toddler seat and rain and sun covers. They said they would hold the price till tomorrow for me to sleep on it.

Is this a good deal and do they tend to hold their price well so when we come to sell we can still get something back?
cheers

I would think that's a pretty standard price for the classic... most online places seem to have it for $499 single, $599 double + extras... There was a few places with good specials on before xmas - like Smiths City had the Sports model for $529 + extras, and Baby Universe had the Dash double pretty cheap too... Have you looked around online?

when I got my first P&T I got it from here winkalotts..

I would look around as there are always specials that come up.

Not sure where you are but Kiwibaby in Auckland often have good sales, I got my second one from them. kiwibaby

I sold my P&T E3V2 double for a good price on TM & when I sold my Sports one with double kit, covers, bags, lazy ted, & a few other accessories I got $900+ for it, it was in great condition & was used as a car basically 5 days a week in good & bad weather. Few things I sold separate like the cocoon I got all my money back on as I bought it on sale.

I think if you can spend the money on a good pram & it is a model that resells well in NZ like P&T or MB then you will get a big part of your money back if looked after.

Also you don't need to buy everything at once. You could get the single pram to use now & get the other bits later.

Oh, I should have said... come round and have a play. You can take C for a proper walk and see how it feels.

Oops just gone and given my old flexible friend a battering at winkalots. Got a Dash, doubles kit and double sun and rain covers for $750. Quite excited about it though - i dont often get myself nice new luxuries like this!
