    I think I got on ok deal on it, with scrappage. Only extra I went for was leather (met paint thrown in free). Sat nav was nearly £1000!

    Fine, not sure that I would pay a grand for Sat Nav, but to each his/her own as they say.


    Still a very expensive car for what it is IMO.

    Enjoy your new car..

    Didn't do the sat nav option, just leather. Toyota salesman even said it wasn't worth half that!

    Going to go with the auris - unless for some reason I change my mind over the weekend

    As for 'haggling' with the dealer - he said the margins were very low on motability cars so he couldn't really do anything - he eventually said he would ask his boss if he could give me some mats - Am I likely to be able to negotiate anything?

    My father bought an avensis at the start of the year - they gave him mats and a full tank - but the guy said that was the last day of giving petrol because they weren't allowed to anymore - why is this?
