In January I bought a May 2010 GTD with leather, xenons, cruise, touch-screen radio, bluetooth, 18" vancouvers and LED rear lights (supplied by dealer) with 10k miles on the clock for just under £23,000. I thought that was a good deal.
If you take the value of leather and xenons off that price, I would say you should push for another £1,500 off as a minimum.
It really pays to ask - I managed to negotiate the dealer down from £25,000 just by asking them to try harder.
You got a good deal. At the end of the day it all depends on how much money the dealer has in the car and what bonuses are tied into the deal. Years ago you'd easily get a deal for cash, but these days they don't seem interested in that, they want to flog you finance more than they do the actual car!
The one I posted up is direct from the leasing firm. I thought it sounded quite a good deal but there is no movement in the price on the car. I'm not interested in buying it but thought it sounded a good deal.
I would say try and find a cheaper 2011 Gtd..........
I can't find a cheaper 11 plate.
