Buying a used Porsche - how well did you haggle?

[Dave Thornton]

I'm interested in finding out how much you shaved off the asking price (and the techniques), or what else made the deal. Free warranty? Or just a full tank of fuel and 6 months tax? Or paid full price because the car was too good to risk missing out on.

Well if you don't ask you don't get. I got £1k off just for asking, he could said no and further discussion ensues or I could have walked.

Sounds like a win-win - you save £1k and he makes the sale. Out of interest, what was the approx purchase price and was this private, trade or OPC?

Changing the subject (slightly), what are your thoughts on cheaper parts of the country to buy e.g. further away from London might be cheaper? And time of year e.g. last weekend in November might offer a the best price whereas last weekend in April the highest price???
