    Looking for advise please. Dealer is selling an 09 vw passat - high spec - with asking price of 17,950 - how much do you think I can get him down to? I have nothing to trade - car written off - and I have cash... :)

    Engine type? Mileage?

    That's expensive for a petrol 09 Passat regardless of the spec.

    Bleh. No sodding engine in it. Still it's a popular one, but I wouldn't give him a penny over €16,000 - every dealer has fields of them these days, and here you are with no trade-in and a roll of notes thick enough to choke a bull. He'd have to be a complete idiot to let you out the door again without a sale.

    13,000 sheets, here and now, to take it off your hands, bass. I like it, why not! Just make sure he understands you're serious.

    if he's looking for 18k the chances of 13k are slim.

    You never know your luck in a small town. As far as I can see a lot of dealers are still in Celtic Tiger Muppetland.

    For a 09 1.4 pasrat? I think so too! You wouldn't find it hard to get an 09 diesel for 15k

    2009 1.4 Highline here asking €14k:
    http://www.driving.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=1413276670303970

    And it has full leather seats as opposed to the Highline's standard half leather.

    €18k should be buying you a 2010 model. BTW the 1.4 has 122bhp and a turbo, it can hold it's own in the Passat.

    It actually is good in the Passat though. I've covered a few thousand motorway miles in a few of them and they are more than adequate. That engine is a cracker for its size and reliable too. Will do close on 40mpg too on the motorway.
