No movement on price. Now comes down to the waiting time and lack of spec. Head and heart are arguing again!

Forgive me for asking again as I'm being lazy. :embarassed:
So what have you ordered exactly spec-wise as you say it is a poverty spec, please?

Have you tried a broker?

Had a quick look online and the cheapest i can find is £21,787 new, how much is the dealer asking for?

Im not sure anymore whether he wants to buy the 600 mile sample at the dealers or order a new one.
He is in a bit of a quandry.

7% is a decient discount imo for a car thats available now but if they have offered you that off a new one i would say be cheaky and make them an offer on the showroom one if you want it.
I think iirc steve30 got 10% off his showroom model GTD but his was totally fully loaded and white so harder for them to shift to an average customer, it was also on the price rise time too. So you could try for 10% off if your cheaky or get them to through in some dealer fit options and GAP to sweaten the deal. It all depends on what the car cost them really and how much they want rid of it and by when, also how cheaky you want to be.

GTD MY2011 (LED rear lights, etc.), 5dr, Manual, Carbon Grey, RCD510, Cruise Control, Active Chassis, Parking & Camera, Winter Pack.

@sundaydriver: I went to that website and the above spec comes in at £24,921.76.

The more I think about it, the better the deal! GTD (as with GTI) has great residual value, not that I plan on selling it for 9 years or so!
