    Hi guys as the title suggests planning on going up to NI to buy a car off a dealer.

    Have around 7500 pounds to spend on the car itself? and around 2 grand allocated for VRT.

    Kinda wanted to get a Toyota Auris around 2013 range so it would still be covered by warranty for the year anyway.

    Planning on going up at the end of the month but just wondering is there much wiggle room with dealers and the price?

    Have a bought a couple of cars up north and have always got some sort of discount (was spending about 25k though ) from my experience end of month is better for a haggle ( sales targets to be hit !)

    Good luck ðŸ‘

    I guess it depends on your haggling abilities... Mine are absolutely awful but I had someone haggle on my behalf and got about £800 off it... Woohoo.

    Best of luck with the purchase and the VRT process afterwards...
