What sort of discount is worth asking for?

[carpah]

Hi there,

I am looking at a 2017 used Panamera Turbo but want to swap out wheels, add a tow bar (it has tow bar prep)

Wheels (and tyre) are about £5,700 and tow bar supply fitting is £2,400 (Porsche Tequipment website).

My question is, what sort of discount should I ask for those as part of the deal. I was thinking of asking the dealer to do it for cost price-ish to him p, my guess is that I should ask for discount of 25-30%.

Asking on car is c. £125k so want to negotiate that separately.

(and I am planning on keeping the original wheels).

Any guidance would be appreciated.

You’re at the right end of the month to negotiate but I haven’t heard of many successful attempts at significant discounts on AUC stock.

I think discounts are more likely on auxiliary parts of the purchase, so wheels, tow bar etc might have a greater chance.

I’d be interested to hear how you get on. I’m not sure how the Panamera market is but there are lots of previous generation cars, that have been on the market for a very long time and prices seem to be softening slowly, so it would be reasonable to assume this will by the new model in time.

Anyone else had any luck with Panamera discounts on the new model? I’m not even sure what the waiting list is at present.

Tried the same on my last set of wheels and was shown their markup was 15-20%, so 10% would be good going. Start high and work down..
