Welcome Champers.
2% is okay. I'm sure there will be a hell of a lot of dealers not offering any discount judging by the forums.
With 2% you have a fair compromise; the ease of a local dealer who will be able to help you with any problems without having to travel miles and miles, and the goodwill that you have a bit of discount and they haven't cut their profit to the bone.
Some are getting 8% from brokers but you're dealing with fleet departments who will hand over the car and not want to see you again for another 2 or 3 years...
... Ya pays yer money...
