How much off for straight sale?

Looking at an 08 plate XKR and wondering how much margin there is for Jag approved salesmen to drop for a sale. No trade in, sold mine a month ago. They appear to be asking £3000 over the odds against a Glass's paid for valuation. Every little helps 
Erm it really depends on what the car cost them and what they've spent on it. Plus if the saleperson needs the sale or not to make up numbers.There is no hard and fast rule on this. Also "guides" like Glass's are exactly that "guides". Doesn't mean they are remotely accurate.

I'm banking on the fact he may need to make up numbers, plus there are plenty more out there and I'm in no hurry.........There is no hard and fast rule on this. Also "guides" like Glass's are exactly that "guides". Doesn't mean they are remotely accurate.

But they will also think the same way, plenty more punters out there. If they don't sell it to you, they'll sell it someone else. No point in selling it at a loss if they don't need too kind of thing.300bhp/ton said:

Then hope he meets me halfway maybe.........? I should really wait until next spring and then it (or similar)will be down to the price I want to pay anyway Problem is I am getting withdrawal symptoms without my XKR fix

if this is on offical used list, I'm guessing they are retailing around 27-30k, and they CAP clean around 24k so realistic retail at 27k. However as XKR's are bespoke no two cars are alike hence CAP or Glasses are guides, there's not 1000's of XKR's the same car and spec to average prices out. The car's condition and specification(toys) will inflate the price above average retail if the right toys are present. It all depends what you consider to be a must have toy or option toy as to the price you will pay.
No toys really though on the XKR, all standard. Keyless entry and ACC are options, that's about it. I do notice silver one's are cheaper though for some reason. Hoping for 27k indeed, I would live with that CarbonXKR said:

The different packs can make a difference to price and interior(seat,trim veneer)/exterior combinations gets back to my point of bespoke. Fortunately Jaguar do control combinations, I've seen some horrendous german brand combinations, which when they come up on the used market suffer on residuals, money doesn't buy taste!
but got another £500 off and tax until April -----result 
That seems like a fair deal.
I bought my XKR in June this year for £26k from a main Jag dealer (its a 58reg with then 48k miles) It was up for £28k. Also got new disks and pads all round £1500 and new tyres £1100 all thrown in. I walked out of the show room twice when the deal was not right and the sales manager walked across the car park to get me ( he wanted the sale) however they would not go any further so i had to pay the road tax :-(
Anyway love the car, no regrets. Enjoy.....

Nice one Euro ................ I wished I'd pushed for tyres as they are pretty low on tread, but bought it unseen so never notice until I got home as I was dazzled by the beauty of the rest of the car I bought my XKR in June this year for £26k from a main Jag dealer (its a 58reg with then 48k miles) It was up for £28k.
