Asking prices and haggling

Stella2010 · 2011-04-08 15:24:30

Hi, I'm new to car buying experience so wondered in general do most dealers top load the asking price as they know people might haggle ? Going to look at a car tonight - asking price is €2000 - would anyone have experience on how flexible dealers tend to be on this or are the prices generally set in stone. It's an old car…

Hi,

I'm new to car buying experience so wondered in general do most dealers top load the asking price as they know people might haggle ?

Going to look at a car tonight - asking price is €2000 - would anyone have experience on how flexible dealers tend to be on this or are the prices generally set in stone.
It's an old car , good condition by the sound of it , NCT'd etc but would just hope to get it for less !

Any tips or advice would really be appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe if you're lucky they'll knock 500 cash off.

Depends, was looking at a car from a dealer €1950, he wouldn't budge, bought one off him before too for €900 and he didn't knock anything off. Current car I got off him had a screen price of €2950 and I got it for €2250. Bought the sister's Ka off him years ago, think we got over €500 off that.

Depends on what the car owes him and how quickly he wants it gone
