Best Discount Achieved from dealer
Discussion
Particularly, this question is aimed at Snarl and Bertie (sorry guys, I'm probably driving you crazy by now!). After considering your very accurate advice, I am going to get my F355 from Maranello hopefully Monday or Tuesday. My dad reckons that the Ferrari dealers are on about 40% mark up. I was thinking a little less as their part exchange rates seem to support 30%. I have managed to get only £1,000 knocked off the price of the car but I was wondering what sort of discount you were able to knock off the car.
The sales guy reckons he can't give much of a discount because he has to do the belts and a service. I have tried to bribe him with the offer of a nice antique rug for him and his sales director but to no avail!!
Your advice as always will be much appreciated!
Regards
PS. Maybe if you know someone in Maranello who can help there could be a nice rug on its way to you?
he he... I would offer something else more interesting but we are handmade rug manufacturers and wholesalers so we dont get out much and dont know what the real world enjoys!

Thanks for your help
I think I'll give him a call tomorrow and offer £60K for it (asking price £65K). My dad's advice is a bit old school, he says offer half price and then stand back, making sure the punch (or slap) misses and then continue negotiations!! Don't fancy that myself, so I reckon £60K should do it.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Has anyone ever dealt with JCT600 or know of someone who has and can tell anything about them. They are official main dealer but the following has made me think a little:
advert agreed to
1997 R reg Spider Giallo 10kmiles £72,950 £71,950
1997 R reg Spider Rosso 16kmiles £72,950 £70,950
1997 R reg Spider Rosso 18kmiles £69,950 £67,950
He said he may even go lower on the last one (provisionally said 66,950 but must check)! What could be the reason for this? He reckons its because they bought it at a better price... Does this make sense (I guess McNab will know)? I would have thought the margin was safe enough to keep the pricing of all the cars closer? I wanted yellow but might go for red at this price and if the car is as should be you can't go wrong!!
Regards and thanks again
