Think they will...but then they already have Dem ... but I still believe the good ones will still hold firm at 30k.

They're pushing £20k with 50+ miles on the clock. As always, drive it and suffer depreciation or hold onto your money and let it sit looking pretty in the garage.

i do think that a non LE car a really good one with low miles....
full history will be had at 24k..not asking price..had...
the LE cars should be had for 29k....
as always there are 1 or 2 exceptions like a 9k miles 2008 one that goes for 40k but im talking generally

Not sure Dem .. Bet they would want 30500 it up for 32k ... If you could get in under 30k you've done well ...

Bad time of year to be holding stock like that and the mileage will put some off. As for the tints, it will look fine with the ones behind the B pillar left on so just remove those between the A and B pillars.

As ever, though, internet viewing is fine but you need to know when its last service was, what was done and what the tyres and brakes are like before you can establish a fair view on price. Paint also - front and rear bumper respray can cost you £750-1000.

cash makes no difference at that level Dem, in fact they would rather sell finance to you and make another £1k

Sorry Dem, I'm with Andy on this one. £1500 reduction in price is a good effort, any more is superb. They would love the finance rather than the cash

Yep to be honest most will look at £500 at the most ... They usually have this built in for a px ... But the longer its been for sale more you can chance your arm...

I think I'd walk if all I could get off a £30k car was £500, unless it was abolutely spotless (at which point, I'd probalby not look for any redcution). Trouble with lot of cars is that my idea of "spotless", "very clean" or "very well cared for" is different to pretty much every seller I've come across.

With a GS, you only need find one or two small things that will need addressing in the next few months and £500 is easy to spend.

With regards to negotiations, I know of at least one dealer who drops a grand a month off when the cars dont sell, up to about 2-3 months in....that there makes me think theres room for negotiations!

A dealer would only look at 500 but a private sale thats a different matter .. Still think it would be a struggle to get mor ethan 500 but there is more chance of more on a private sale.

see thats what i meant..i do think they will go 2k off a price if it meant selling...we are in economic problems and if the car has not hasd a lot of interest not becuase its bad just no one viewing or having the money too then they will

Not saying you will not get a bif discount just that its rare ... The time that this may haooen it the car has been sat for montha and months and months unsold and the dealer is suppose to be turning stock over a set period...But you will see them try and put through the auction first with a reserve. **** Lovett Swindow is one dealer who has a make me an offer policy.....and as a result you can get a few grand of some of their cars, but again all depneds how long its sat there for.
