How much discount can i get of a used VW UP!
Discussion
I'm 17 years old and i've been driving for 3 months, and i'm about to buy my first car. I'm interested in the VW UP! and i'm hoping to spend no more than £6500. I'm going through VW themselves, so the car be an approved used one. How much discount would be reasonable on a car which is less then 2 years old and less than 20k miles?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum area.

Oh the hardships of the modern era. My biggest worry with my first car was making sure I didn't shut the door too fast in case it fell off.
Old man moaning aside. The only approach is to ask. Start low at what you are willing to pay and be prepared to walk away. And don't accept any bulls
t about them not doing deals.
Good luck.

Op, I agree, you can always ask, there is nothing to lose, most UP's are similar spec etc so walk away if the deal doesnt work for you
Piece of string question.
If you are buying a yellow one that's been through 4 owners already and has no goodies on it expect money off.
If it's a mint, black low miler with some added toys the dealer is unlikely to shift much if at all.
Some points to hold in mind:
Cash is not king.
Dealers do want part exchanges.
Be ready to buy.
Be realistic.
If you're paying with cash, want no extras, are cross shopping every other car in the country and try to nibble his margin down to nothing...

I'd be doing a test drive and i presume the dealer will ask me what my budget is and look out for cars for me. I presume if i just turn up to a garage and i'm there ready to buy that day i'll get a better deal ? My dad doesn't like to haggle, so i'll be having to haggle them down, and because it's my own money I'm quite eager to save between 5-10%. This is the kind of UP! i'll be going forhttp://usedcars.volkswagen.co.uk/vehicle.aspx?wflw=se_na_ve_vi&ctr=748802&vhl=604436476&srcmdc=se_na_re_
Watch the spec! My boss had a basic spec model & got rid after a while - he thought he could live without central locking, but it turned out to be a royal PITA, although his was a 5 door.
In passing for a year old car with 3000 miles he only lost just over £1000 on what it cost him new selling via wbac.com, so the car in question looks a good deal since it is being sold by a dealer.

That car has already had pretty much 10% off so don't expect any more. On a car like that, they probably have about another £500 in it before it makes a loss.How are you looking to pay? If on finance then you might get some more off but for cash, they don't earn anything from it so probably wouldn't bother knocking any more off.
I got my first new car age 19. Borrowing parents vehicles up till then.
I ended up getting a brand new Nissan Almera 1.4 as it came with 1 years insurance and I was immediately on maximum no claims bonus from year 2 (provided there were no claims, which there weren't).
Consider the whole package when getting a car, 5% discount could easily be offset by other more value add things like insurance for a younger driver.
My deal allowed me to then get an e36 BMW 325i coupe by the time I was 21. Been on 6 cylinders ever since.
