Over the last few days I have e-mailed Vauxhall dealers looking for a quote for a Vauxhall Vivaro van.
I have had an excellent response to my requests.
Now here's the interesting bit, once I received my cheapest quote I would forward this to the other dealers and ask them to better it.
By doing this I have saved approximately £2500, plus I have manged to get optional extras such as a towbar, metallic paint, ply lined loading area, glazed bulkhead, glazed tailgate with wiper etc
I can't believe that exchanging a few emails has saved me so much money.
Never ever believe the line" This is my best and final price I can offer you..."

I think car salesmen struggle to deal with people when it not a face to face sale.
So as long as you know what you want, it comes down to a number games..Lowest price wins!!!!
So go on, start your own Dutch Auction.

I can't agree more - that not doing it face to face gets you good deals. I followed Martin's advice and managed to get £15000 off a new Volvo which means that I can now have the one with the entertainment system for the rear seats with heat and massage functions for the driver, sat nav etc. I did it by going to the brokers he suggested, checked the deals I was being offered against other sites and prices and found that if I ordered from a main dealer in Sunderland who makes his profit from bulk deals rather than on the individual unit price I could get this whopping saving! And I'm getting a £300 deal on 3 years servicing! I am a 52 year old single mum who cannot bargain for toffee but found it easy to play hardball online- hurrah!!
