Haggling down this price possible?

[godlyhax]

Hi everyone, first post on here. So nice to meet you all.

I'm looking at a new car to replace my shed of a Citeron Saxo vtr 03 plate.

Now i've seen this new Abarth Evo Punto 2014 for 16k

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/a... .

My question is do you think its possible to get the dealer down to around 9-10k?

I REALLY want this motor but 16k is just out of my reach.

I can afford 11k at the most so was just wondering, do you think its possible?

And any hints or tips for me to get it there?

Thank you

No.

Tip number one, find a car you can afford.

Tip number two, if you have to ask others how to haggle on the internet you aren't going to get much off.

Tip number three, if you are going to offer someone a third less than they are asking for something, you had better make them like you before hand or expect to probably offend them.

Tip number four, don't beg when you crap offer is laughed at/ taken offence at. Nothing worse than a grown man say "pleeeeeeeeese, it is all I have at the moment."

wind up surely?

Think you may be smoking something there! I don't think that there is any dealers willing to make a loss as mark-ups on new vehicles are nowhere near that high a percentage.

Why would they sell it for £9k?

£16k down to £9k..

Sure, that should be easily attainable.

I do it all the time.

This one isn't a Vauxhall though

The very cheapest one on Autotrader is up for £9k. It's 3 years old and has done 40k miles and is being sold by a private seller. Why would the dealer sell a new one for the same amount?

For your budget there are a number for sale around £11k - two years old with up to 20k miles. Why not buy one of these?

Wind up surely!

I suspect you'd be told to jog on rather swiftly...

You guys are mean. His VTR must be worth at least 5k trade in surely?

On a quiet day, and with some financial incentives from Fiat, you might get it for £13.5-14k.

Try this one

Swift sport more in your budget if you want something new and as close to your VTR performance wise or plenty of second hand hot hatches in budget that would be nicer than the Fiat.

It is a used car in which the dealer owns. Fiat have nothing to do with it.

To the OP simply No!

Ha ha fking brilliant!

TX.

Yep, easy, the dealer will have at least an £8k margin in that sort of car and for a quick sale and an easy £1k profit he'll bite your hand off; I look forward to your write up once you have it.

[mcflurry]

I'd offer the dealer your old car and a packet of crisps.
Maybe if he's hungry he'd do the deal?

[Jasandjules]

Is the car overpriced in contrast with similar ones for sale elsewhere?
