How to get the car at the price you want?

According to that it's worth about £4k - but I don't know the exact model, that assumes the base model.

See if you can find a similar spec vehicle with another dealer and if it's cheaper use that as a bargaining tool to get the price down. Say you are considering this one as dealer x as it's cheaper/nicer colour/has go faster stripes etc and see if you can get a few hundred quid off it.

Good luck!

What engine size and spec is it Red Devil? That makes a huge difference to price.

Still a bit pricey I'd say, show that to them and ask for £500 off and see what they say! November isn't a great month for car sales historically so they may be willing to haggle a bit more than normal.

I guess it's quite simple really. You decide what you want to pay, and stick to it!

Tell them for example you have £4,500 to spend, and that's it. If they ask you for £4,501, walk away.

Yes, keep that pound! :rotfl:
