Realistically and assuming this guy still needs to eat, what figures could I walk in with with my signature already on the bottom?
Bearing in mind that car had some AC paperwork in the glovebox dated August 2007, which I assume indicates when it was received. Picture is a different dealership though not Liverpool?

Thats because the manager is in charge of it.. He has to haggle on your bahalf but the lower the rate, the less he will get paid.. It ultimately depends on the car itself and how much margin is in it..

You've been helpful, but I still need to know how to find how much it owes them

Another tip, is play dealerships off each other.
Locally, we have Specialist Cars BMW and Elms BMW. Both big dealerships with multiple location show rooms. Dad's business partner's daughter wanted a 1 Series as her company car. She went to the first, they knocked some money off, went to the other, they matched and it knocked the same off, went back to the other one, knocked even more off. Bingo, she saved about £1500.

I tried this before and they said 'buy it there then'. I think they have an agreement to not get involved as it works in the dealers' favour if they hold the price up. Those two BM garages must hate each other

They are within about a 25 miles of each other, both having massive stocks of Used cars.
It may have been more to do with that she was sent by the company she works for, to find her own company car, so they would have potentially got custom for many years to come. Speculate to accumulate n'all that.
