I've never tried it, but I've heard that e-mailing dealers with you requirements can produce some good offers.

Try New Cars | Fantastic Deals | Finance Available

You pay all monies to the supplying dealer - if you don't fancy the broker route, then get a formal quoate and get a dealer local to you to match it. Looks like 13% discount is possible, dependent upon model. Watch delivery times too, you don't want to get stung with the extra VAT from Jan 1st !

Second CLK270's point about getting an internet broker based ( drivethedeal etc.) quote and then using that as a negotiating tool.

Worked for me when buying a Disco 3. Got the best quote I could find off the internet, told the salesman about it, he looked it up for himself and then matched it.

How did the test at Watford go?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

My dad ordered a C class SE Executive from here New Mercedes Benz Cars for Sale | Cheap Mercedes Benz car | New Mercedes Benz Deals UK

I think he got a 15% discount in September but it now appears to have dropped to 9%.

Watford couldn't come anywhere near it at teh time. It should be delivered in the next week or so. Apparently supplied by a dealer in the Midlands

I sent out a generic email to c80 dealers...took about an hour or so to get/type email addresses and then just got knackered...

they all replied/phoned back within 72 hours, but ended up going with an almost local dealer who offered me the best...

I say ended up going, but factory issue has meant it's a bit up in the air at the moment

Something similar to what I did when I bought my motorbike. Send an e-mail to lots of dealers, making sure all their addresses are in the "To" field (not the "bcc" field) so all the dealers know that you're e-mailing other dealers as well.

Managed to get £800 off my bike!

Try the ones North of the Border in Scotland always better value than the English counterparts

 

[The Boss]

Thanks - is there any dealers further north than Grangemouth?

 

[Dryce]

Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen, and Inverness.

All part of the John Weir group last time I looked.

 

[flango]

There's certainly one in Aberdeen & Inverness and I guess a few North of Grangemouth, sure one of the Scottish guys will know for sure. But if my memory serves me right and its a while since I lived in Scotland I think they may all be part of the same franchise John Weir ? Used to buy mine from Glen Henderson in Ayr but they are no longer a dealer just an authorised workshop.

Anyone used Bernie at Burlingtons?

(It's not a joke)

Always advertises n the Sunday Times, I knew a guy that obtained a big discount using him.

 

[drocter]

Yup

There is a chap called Gary at John R Weir in Perth who is thoroughly nice to deal with and appears to work hard to get you the right deal..he's off til Monday though

Wow, that's quite an advert I just gave him!!
