Ok, there has been a lot of talk about people getting a discount on their 718.

I have had a refundable deposit on one since May and want Jan/Feb delivery.

Dealer has said no discount.

I will quite happily buy elsewhere, so if you are shouting about getting a discount on your 718 please add your contact below so I can get in contact with them asap.

Thanks for sharing!

Two things,

1. If you've already put a deposit down to get a place in the delivery schedule why would they offer you a discount now? They've got a customer who's hot-to-trot.

2. How much money are you spending and how much of it is on "options"? You're much more likely to achieve some discount if you've ticked a load of high margin additions to the car. i.e. if they're looking at a £70,000 sale rather then a £40,000 sale.
To answer:

1. I am quite happy to move my deposit - I was told no discount would be given by dealers but this seems certainly not the case!

2. My options come to £13.5k and while I can appreciate the car won't be discounted I think the options could be.
