What's the best way to get discount on a new car?

[parkers]

Hi,

I am in the early stages of buying a new car, at the moment it is �24k, what kind of discount can I get and how do i go about asking for it?

Thanks

You might find a few tips from Honest John.

Here is a link to one of his relevant pages.

I also suggest you ring Trade Sales of Slough to see what they are selling similar models for.

pay cash and bargain

play one dealer off another.

Buying a new car cash makes no difference. It is actually more costly for the dealer to accpet cash as someone has to go to the bank and cash it in.

spaced,dont be daft,paying by cash,does not mean take �20k in the showroom,it means not taking credit or part exchange,you will get a better deal with cash,ie bankers draft etc.wake up,spaced me old son.

yup norman is right about cash
tell the dealer you have only around �20 -22k to spend - unless you suggest he does a really great deal you might be prepared to spends ...oooh say .....�24k ....perhaps
