What's a fair discount on a car with 600 miles?

Dealer has a GTD with 600 miles on the clock. They are offering ~7% off list. Seems a bit steep, seeing they offered the same on a factory order!

£600?

7% is a big chunk off there margin on a new car.
It depends on the spec, colour and how much they want rid of it.
Factory orders are taking a long time to come through so theres always someone out there will not wait.
The 7% on a factory order was im guessing from there buisness fleet side rather than the salesroom public customer side?

I got the 7% off a new car from sales. Took a lot of work, mind you. Fixing in 2010 prices and 17.5% VAT for a May 2011 car.

Car is a GTD, carbon grey, uprated radio (not sat-nav), winter pack and adjustable suspension. Oh yes, and without 20 weeks of waiting!

You did well as the basic margin is 8% anymore is made up with them hitting targets and sales schemes.

So, if 7% is good for a new car, how much "off list" for a nearly new one?

[Snoopy]

It depends how they bought it. They pay less for showroom/demo models than they do cancelled/customer models. I would be suprised if they sell it at much of a loss. Steve30 bought one similar to what your looking at ie ex showroom. Maybe a search to see what he got off % wise. They prob also want to shift it before the end of the month which you could use to your advantage.

Good spec and colour

They're not budging! One last throw of the dice ...

Coz they know they'll sell it at that price fairly easily
