Nah, its cool, theres just quite a few things that you can do to get the price down with AC. I get my mini cooper tomorrow, should have been 9k, i got it for 8100. Mu uncles a manager at a branch and told me all the things to say, lol.

Well first of all, i cant go too far or i mite get sued lol.

But what they dont want you to know is that you can see the 'buy-in' price at anytime on request, use your imagination from there

Theres more but i dont want to be raped by Arnie.

I think he means, say to this garage that another place has offered you the same car with a certain deal, but you want it in grey, not blue

I think?

If from AC id reckon around the 7,800 mark is acheivable if you've got a bit of a mouth on you.

Find the lowest they'll go wether its cash or finance, then when you get the cheapest, tell them you have a p/x.

Ah right, bearing in mind that milage, age, spec will come into it but if its the exact same but just different colour then AC will ALWAYS try to match it. If not, go home and call them asking to speak to the manager. Trust me, he'll do it.

iirc, the most arnold clark accept is 6k cash (money laundering, blah blah.)

Dont know but keep it in mind that if you buy it outright then they lose money on intrest on finance, so establish a price first , then tell them its cash as its already a done deal.

Funnily enough, usually when you get cash deals there cheaper, AC will reiase the price as there not making money from you otherwise.

That works with private sellers...he's talking about Arnold Clark.

Pick faults.....they fix them.

Walk away twice....come back the 3rd time they know you want it.
