Lilac yes it is huge isn't it? They were identical new cars. The dealer said the corsa SE automatic costs £15k+ RRP but I was being offered it new for £12405. Salesmen are really very variable aren't they? It's odd that. Well done on the pre-school.
Thanks Em That's good to know. I cancelled the test drive in the end. I didn't like the way that conversation was going at all.
Need I'm glad you think it was right to haggle. It makes me realise that zipcar is a great thing for car buying. We have a system here where there are community cars that we can just rent for an hour any time we want one, and I could use those easily for test drives. I'm going to take a look at some of them I think.
I hadn't thought of getting a car adapted Collie. That's a great idea. Thanks!
Fluffy Dh thought that there were cars like that. He says he thinks the Prius may be like that. I must figure out which ones have the right kind of gear stick. Useful to know that about test drives. I sort of thought that some people haggled much harder with car people, but I didn't realise it was that much. Did you have to do a lot to get that JL voucher?
methenyou. Thanks yes, it's a huge amount isn't it?
Thank so much everyone for the encouragement on dealing with car salespeople. I'll keep trying.
