My (wife's  :wink:) R32 was originally £30k in the showroom.  When I went to see it, the price had been reduced to £22,750  :shocked:  I got it for £19,750 with 37 miles on the clock  :evil: :evil: :evil:

Still, every little helps :)

Local VW Dealer wanted 24k for a year old 9k miles ex-demo ED30 and wouldn't budge on price... I went to a Car Supermarket and bought the same car less DSG (I wasn't bothered), a year's warranty and xenons (not too bothered either - had them on a few cars but only found them to be significantly better than decent conventional bulbs on the Jag) but brand new (7 miles) for £17,300...

Got the same trade in on my Jag too...

The sales guy at the dealership didn't phone with his best and final until a day after we'd agreed that he would... when I told him what I had done he was gob-smacked... and told me that, frankly, I'd done the right thing...

Now six months and 19K miles on... I'm still happy

Oh yes... I was hoping that it would be less... even 15K in 6 months would have been an improvement

It's my daily driver and I travel quite a bit with work... fortunately I receive a fairly generous car allowance...

I managed to get £2500 off my used GTI, from a VW dealer.  I also got book price for my trade in.

I walked in armed with pages of adverts for GTIs in my price bracket.  They looked at them and buckled!
