Go for it - some dealers of high end marques are sometimes more reluctant as they see theirs as a prestige brand - and therefore 'worth every penny'.
I would try by playing dealers off each other - get pricing for a similar priced - but cheaper car and feign more interest in that one. In my opinion it's always worth haggling.
Telling posters they are stupid contravenes the civility guidelines of AAM. It is OK to disagree with someone, but it is not acceptable to tell a poster they are stupid.
We are buying a new car from one of the big dealers in Dublin and thinking of asking if garage would take something off the price for us.
Is this generally advised or the done thing?
sorry got distracted.... yes, done thing...
We are entering the second half of the year, so the bulk of the 07 sales has been done. Hence, dealers are now more open to "get some business".
With no trade-in, try to get between 7% and 10% off (unless you want to buy a mini, then expect 0%), and/or try to get free extras that suits your needs, e.g. parking sensors in not already included.
