Was just getting car washed today and guy there with an 09 AM V8 and he said the local dealer Stratstone, opp CHPR, had a batch of AM V8, 08 models, which they wanted to get rid off (apparently AM have approx 50 sitting around) and he got it for £58K....plus some nice new style wheels for £4K.......

I knew the used car market was doing well, just didn't think new car market was that bad......

Nick, the car market has been pretty poor for some time allready.
I got mine RRS in Germany, 38% off the list price.
But for the AM, £58K is an absolute bargain... I want one

i bought for my 2008 in september 08 82000 euros minus 15%

now, i would get the 2009 with hybrid tv, multimedia system +++++ for the same price.. !

where you got 38%? RRS TDV8 Modelyear 2009 with some modifications.

Germany is the one place doing pretty well still....with this subsidy from the government for cars over 9 years being scrapped etc etc....

In a small town close to Dresden
I got a village price

i also know a guy who got an 09 plate AMV8 plus the sexy wheels (which I think are £2k?) for £60k

rrsboy - we must know the same bloke......but think his wheels were a little more......great deal..

Suppose xxxAngelxxx is still crying but sure, when he has recovered will make some comment here

you can't get too hung up on residuals when buying cars - Angel doesn't give a crap - why should he - he's driving a DBS for gods sake

and the dealer with the RRS i wanted would only knock off £500!!! Just wondering know if i should pay a visit to my local Aston dealer to see wot deals they are doing.

you ladies got the wrong approach to cars....

Just fu***** make more cash in your life - then you don't have to discuss 3 years prices before buying a new car.......

Good point - if I worried about residuals, I'd be driving a mini.....but Angel residuals aside, I'm sure, like the rest of us, you like to get a good deal when you can....

I agree with Nick, just for the sake of getting a good deal I will allways negotiate the price

Doesn't matter how much money anyone has, it's always nice knowing you're getting something off on a car purchase, thats part of the thrill of buying a car I guess, that a deal can be done. Come to think of it, is there any new car these days where a deal can't be had? Anything from a Lambo to a Smart.....from a Maybach (huge discount!) to a Prius....

Nick there are still some dealers who have not realised the hard times. Especially, after they have introduced the governmental support for car sales in Slovakia (EUR 2000 if you scrap your old car), you can not get any discount on most of the new small cars (up to a value of around EUR 25K). Which is really silly
I know that this specific example does not apply to most of the people here but more broadly I can not agree more with what you said, no matter what cash you have it is about the thrill of buying
On all cars I have ever bought I was able to knock more than 20% of the list price
