06 RR 4.2 S/C price question
Discussion
Hi. I am a newbie about to buy (in the next week or two) a black '06 RR 4.2 S/C and I have a pricing question which, if it is not inappropriate, I'd like to try and get some input from the collective wisdom of you all here.
I have seen several cars up for sale that fit my bill with independents and main dealers and am about to start the visiting process once I have lined up a few appointments/test drives. Obviously, the indies tend to be a bit cheaper up front but my preference is to try and buy from a main dealer to get the benefit of the official approved used warranty and likely better pre-sale prep.
My question is what do you think the % room for manoevre is on price with a main dealer (and given August trading month, if that is at all relevant)?
eg if a car is up at £30k, I know there will be a minimum the dealer has in the car to make his margin and assume he has taken in trade in the low to mid 20s. But am I being realistic/unrealistic in trying to pay £27k max? Am I being too cheeky or too wet? A couple with the main dealers appear to have been up for a while which tempts me to put in an offer and worst he can say is no.
Parkers appears to show 06 franchised dealer cars at 27k, 29k or 30k depending on whether 55,06 or 56 plate. I recognise some cars/colour combos may be in more demand than others and the dealers will know which those are and price accordingly which I assume will also be a factor.
Any help gratefully received!

Bought one 3 months ago from a LR main dealer, they appear to have had the car a while, it was a p/ex against a new one, original price on screen when I went to view was £31k, advertised on LR site at £29k and I was able to buy at £28k.
Took a while to find the car I wanted, prices varied a lot, this was the cheapest on the LR site at the time, but was also the lowest mileage. (Terrible colour, but everything else was EXACTLY what I wanted and the price seemed ok with the full LR warranty.)
