Hi

Am looking at buying a XC60. Has anyone got any first hand experience of good discounting. Drive the Deal suggests around 20% which means they can't be that easy to sell - I guess the Evoque has put it in it's place but I really do like the XC60 more. What do you think the best % discount is that I can achieve?

Thanks

I've worked out that overpaying the loan (which is the depreciation only), if you can, by the full amount with the initial payment means you avoid interest altogether & are only stumping up the depreciation up front. The balance (GTV) is effectively financed at 0% by the manufacturer. At the end of the term, you can still choose whether to buy, trade in or walk away depending on how the GTV stacks up against actual value.

Now I just need to choose the XC60 or the Evoque - both cars have their advantages & it's not a clear cut decision for me
