how the hell did you manage that, thats awesome!!??? i got quoted 31,500 on the road for silver base model, no sunroof, no leather, no tints..

man this haggling business is really starting to pi$$ me off

haha. get this price and spec of Cygnus, and walk into a dealership with your cheque book and tell them, you'll sign this straight away if you give me this price or better. Tell them you will be buying one today, if its not from them, will be from someone else.

If they don't budge, give them a card with your number and tell them to call you when they decided to get a customer! and just walk away! =)

$31,500???

Even at full price the drive away should be $31,000 with metallic. Either they are ripping you off or the dealer delivery is even more astronomical now!

If you don't like haggling and want a reasonable deal, I suggest a car broker. Either that or bring someone like your dad or any stubborn male who can be a calming influence on you and wont be persuaded by a salesman into a bad deal. I had my dad with me and considering this was the first time I had bought a new car, it definitely saved me from getting into trouble.

i did have my dad (hes a stubborn european, how can i go wrong??) with me and hes really good with haggling and getting the price he wants.. he has done so with our past 3 cars..

weve only been to liverpool so far and he would not budge.. the salesman was pretty steadfast with what he could and couldnt do so my dad just made me walk away and said we can get it at a better price elsewhere which is true..

[NickZ]

Good idea - I didn't like the way Liverpool dealt with me either.

Me and my dad managed to bring the price down with them, but they sold me a car that didn't exist and THEN wanted to move me into an 06 build / 07 compliance without negotiating further on the price.

This and other issues which I wont go on about here - best to avoid that dealership. I found them very unprofessional.

I don't know how you will go with an MY08, but if there are any MY07s left you should be able to get yourself a good deal elsewhere.

Best of luck!

Don't get too caught up on this MY07/MY08 b/s. Unless it is a newer, "higher" spec model, if it is built in '07 it will always be treated in the trade as an '07, despite what the new car salesman says. Unless it has MY08 build date on the VIN plaque, don't be fooled into paying any extra n:
