Not a problem Nick. It's part of my 9-5 job anyway.

@ DrDRILL
From what i've been told by the dealer, it's all about timing, especially if they haven't met their target. But i do do my homework on any car i purchase before i go in for the kill.

Yes he could be right.

The boss at work has a 640d conv with some ridiculous kit on it and managed a 27k discount.

What's got me worried is if ADY sells up and moves on to pasture new with his Pink Lycra modelling mate (BC) then what about his moderating job (posh word for picking on us)
Then who will take his place, whoever it is, it's going to be a hard act to follow.
CV wise we need someone who's been thrown out of the Gestapo on the grounds of cruelty etc. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Ady - I think fkarim is right about landrover!

He might be right about LR being pretentious, but the fact is that LR can sell more than they can make at the moment. No need to give a discount when the next guy to walk in the door will have bent over and dropped his trousers before the salesman can say "Good morning, sir"!  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

My negotiation skills are pathetic but even I tried hard, very hard by my standards to get something when ordering my RRS2. Didn't get much Other makes had handsome discounts (significantly more than HSE Black Edition on its way out) advertised as "dealer deposit contributions" without asking. Must be possible to get even more. I do think those were runout models although that gives me a feeling it should be possible to get a decent discount on even new models. LR dealers on the other hand were like "the car sells itself sir" The statement was backed up by their forecourts having year old RRS2s with 10,000-18,000 miles offered for new car prices. I know there will be more room for discounts on used but can't imagine there would be a huge movement. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Nearly 2 full pages and it's still not gone. Lovely car and kept in pristine condition. Good luck with the sale a bargain for anyone

Ady - don't know how i missed this post.

Can't say I blame you jumping ship. FK keeps telling me the 3 series X drive Touring is the thinking mans RRS and I really can't argue.

Yours is a cracker and GLWS.  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

I will comment when I have experienced the said car and when/if I have enough ammunition  Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
