Audi A2 2nd hand official dealer margin?
Discussion
Yes I know it's off topic! The car is:
2001 51 Reg Audi A2 1.4 TDI SE,
5 Doors, Manual, Hatchback, Diesel, 51,000 miles, Silver, Alloy wheels,Central locking,Electronic climate control,Front electric windows,Adjustable steering wheel,Front fog lamps,cloth interior. £7,995.
This is from an official Audi dealer. My question is how much room for haggling is there, what would he have paid for it?

I'd ring and say you're seen 7 (on the internet -that'll wind him/her up), and say "What's the best price if I give you the order today?" Wait until the last trading day of the month.
Agree 2K is probably the margin, although with the transparency of price in the market today I think you'll be lucky to get 1K off. These guys have big overheads.

I picked the car up two days later having got the car at below cost as they were trying to clear their stock.

managed to negotiate the purchase of an ex-demo A4 for my father last July. Waited for the last day of the month, walked into the dealership with a pocket full of cash and gave them a take it or leave it offer.

Nice one matey.
I'd say the car owes them about £6,500. The end of quarter bit only works if you know how their quota periods work - are they calendar quarters or not? In my experience, most Ford dealers work to calendar quarters, but Mercedes appear not to, and they're generally not going to reveal that information to Joe Public for obvious reasons
