What is considered a 'sensible' offer on a supercar?
Discussion
Wanted to get peoples thoughts on this topic.
When spending circa. £80-100k on a supercar what do people consider to be a reasonable negotiation position on these types of cars without being laughed out of the showroom.
Having bought a few cars in my years of driving, I have previously put in offers of around 10% less than the asking price on a say a £20k or £30k car (i.e. £18k or £27k) and this feels like a sensible place to have a negotiation and in many cases agreed on the price at these points.
However I for one hesitate with fear of offending the dealer or being not taken seriously when buying more expensive cars if you apply the same rule i.e. 10% off, because in reality you are asking for £10k off a £100k car.
Is this the experience others have when dealing with supercar main dealers or specialists around this price bracket?

Interesting views, I for some reason have a bit of a block on the higher end cars thinking in % terms some offers mean literally £10k+ off the asking price which feels almost embarrassing to ask for. I failed miserably in my last high-end car purchase and didn't get a penny of the advertised price, but I think this was due to me perhaps not being familiar with the high-end market and expecting that people that afford these sorts of cars perhaps don't 'haggle' as much.
