Illusion Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Looking to hear some tips / stories of how you haggled some money off when you bought a car. I'm pretty shit at haggling and I'm looking to get better at it. Did you have a target price? How did you work it out? Did you point out faults with the car in order to get money off, or did you just go in with the haggle? What was the list price and how much did you get off? Was it a private sale or a dealership? Thought this would warrant it's own thread but if mods think otherwise feel free to merge onto the car driving topic. Safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illusion Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Isit worth going car auction? Yeah I've heard mixed things about auctions. Someone I knew bought at car at one, they thought they got an amazingly good deal... Then they got in the car to drive it away. Lethal combo of the smell of cigarette smoke and dogs.

Guest eights Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 It's common sense to point out faults and use it to bring the price lower But it all depends how much the seller wants to let it go Can do it both in a dealership and private Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompressor Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 TBH never knew you could or tried to haggle in a Curry's type of place. Is this something you have to do with the store manager or what? Â Also are people just shooting the breeze here or has anyone actually done this successfully?

imhim Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 becoz they are major corporations, i would say you would have to do it with the manager or store manager  obviously its not like your usually shitty shop owned by patel  if you look in the sales of goods act and the rule of law... anything that is commerically viable to be sold to the public is able to be haggled  obviously if they dont want to haggle then its a no innit  but becoz currys for example is such a big big organisation.... they dont NEED to haggle so youll find them say no prob 100% of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 When I used to go Currys and look around you'd get salesman come up to you and if you say "I like this but its a bit too expensive, you have anything similar but cheaper..." - they'd usually bring themselves down, then you know the possibility is there, you push it down a bit more, they bring it up and bang. Â If you know someone who works there they'll probably tell you the most they can bring it down by. Â Also if you can pull up an Amazon page that shows a cheaper price on your phone you can probably get it dropped straight to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
