Okay - from personal experience, some dealers are now offering discounts - something in the order of 3.5% - some others are still refusing, but if you push very hard, you may be able to get something. My advice is to ring around a few - there was a recent post on this thread which was subsequently removed which led to a very fruitful discussion for me!

Any money you get off a vehicle will only show on the used sale price. looking for the money off and getting dealers to discount will bring down the price of your vehicle when you come to sell so so much. Cheaper is not allways the best way to go, may mean you get a poor sales serv.. |

Why would a discount be reflected in the used price when you come to pex it ??? Makes no sense.

Sorry but that is utter cr*p (no offence meant) any money you get off list price is a direct saving in your pocket, when you come to trade in they will look at mileage, condition, model year etc. The price you paid originally is irrelevant. I get brilliant service from my dealer and yet have screwed them down to the lowest possible price every time. They know I will be back for more if they look after me. |

Can’t agree with that statement at all, Getting a good discount will have no bearing on part exchange prices at all and if it did you would just go to a different dealer?? The motor trade has made a good living for many years from charging as much as they can get away with, so now we have the upper hand (in that you can use the internet to your advantage) we should make the most of it. You can pay full screen price and still get lousy service so it makes no odds. |

if dealers are discounting vehicles all over the uk then the price will drop drop and drop even more.

supply and demand will set the sell and re-sale price points.

understand what your saying but how do you know when you have got the cheapest price poss. is it after you have had a few quotes and go for the best or when you get to the price you are happy to part with. |

I think the fact that you're reading this forum means that you're fairly au fait with the Internet - my estimate would be that this is a lowish percentage of all car buyers out there.

BG you're spot on, the purchase price is but one part in the decision where to buy. Just as important is the continuing service from the dealer. My dealership might be a little more expensive than the cheapest, but the back up is great and worth paying for IMO D4 HSE Lux for me
