Buying a car on finance, room to haggle?

    Well lads,

    I got the finance approved on a new car, 15k list price.

    Is there really any room to haggle on price for a car that cheap and on dealer finance?

    Would appreciate your thoughts!

    Lol, more of a reason.

    The dealer is not only making money on the car but on the finance too!

    I would have though there's always room to haggle. Just ask the salesperson - the worst they can say is no.

    If they won't drop the price they might throw in a free service or at least a full tank of fuel.

    Did you not agree the price first? Usual you agree a price and then arrange the finance. The dealer makes commission on the finance too so he won't mind you paying by that method.

    Even if its VW finance and a PCP contract?

    I didn't haggle the price there because I wanted to suss out if I would be given the finance first.

    Going to ring around a few other dealers and see if they'll beat the price.
