Questions about Peg Perego 2005 P3 Pliko Blue Moon

[mrct]

Thanks to this board I have FINALLY picked out a stroller, the 2005 Peg Perego P3 Pliko MT in Blue Moon. Now I just have a few questions.

Where can I find the best deal on the stroller? Babycenter.com is having a 10% off sale this weekend, but it doesn't apply to this stroller. Babiesrus.com has $20, but it doesn't seem to apply either and I would have to pay shipping. My local Babies 'R Us is out of stock of this color. The only other retailer in Austin is USA Baby and I believe that they have them for $289 plus I have a $10 off coupon.
Any other places to look?

Which Graco SnugRide would you suggest to match the Blue Moon?
The navy ones that I have seen online are Cape, Colby, and Colburn.

Thanks!

I have seen it on ebay for a good price. If you are typing in Blue Moon to search try spelling it 'Blu Moon' - I've seen it listed like this!
HTH!

Check StrollerSWAP. I believe someone (not me) just listed one today.

BABY DEALZ seems to have the lowest price and free shipping.

These are 2 listings on Ebay, the first one is from the seller scoobygoodboy. I got mine from him and though the customer service was terrible to non-existant,(did not respond to my questions, listing description was inaccurate). The picture was of a navetta bassinet on top of a P3 in a blue-silver color combo (not Blue Moon though, more of a gray-blue) but the code was for Oasis. When I won the bid I emailed asking for clarification on which color it actually was, did not get a reply. I then recieved a generic email informing me of shipment, when I emailed asking for the tracking # and some other questions, I recieved a response with just a number on it, not even the shipping company name. (tried FedEx and was correct) So bottom line is, if you order this way be prepared for zero customer service, and frustration, but I did recieve the stroller within 5 days in perfect condition (it was the Oasis) and I am very happy with it. Like most 2005's mine did not have a car seat strap, I called Peg Perego and they sent it out within 2 days. People on this board will tell you not to order from Ebay because they are not authorized dealers and Peg will not honor the warrenty. That may be true, I don't know; but Peg allowed me to register my stroller on their website and happily sent out the car seat strap no questions, so I am confident that they will honor any problems I may have. And if they don't, I saved $100 off the retail price and won't feel bad about getting another off ebay if that's what I have to do.

The second listing is from a seller named Maxoty, they advertise it as "European specs" it comes with a napper bar instead of child tray, not sure what else is different. I know someone on this board has purchased from them, you might try a search to find out the details.
