Seen a car I like what deals or extras can ai ask/negotiate for?
I have seen a Fiesta at a Ford dealer that I woukd like to purchase. I have been able to negotiate the price down £8000 to £7500.
It's 2010 - 11m ford fiesta. I am looking to purchase extended 3year warranty £890.
I was thinking of asking 4 a full tank of petrol. I already have floor mats from my old car. What else can I ask/negotiate for? Do I automatically get nectar points fir a used car purchase?

Ask them why there are 2012 plate cars in the autotrader for less than £7000.
A couple for less than £6000. Under 10,000 miles also.
Some of these are from Ford Dealers also, So not just backstreet garages.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

Yes you are right. Thanks to everyone one here I realise I need to be more careful. I am now looking to spend the same money with a nearly new car with 3 years already included because its under 3 years old.
Had an argument with dealer as he is shipping over a ford car that I like £8500 under a year with about 3k on clock. He says I must take out their finance @7-10% & 1 year warranty as he is transferring car from another of their branches. I said I never agreed to finance and I an still deciding if to now take the 1 year warranty for £400!!
Do you think should take out the £400 one year warranty for clutch, engine and electronics. The dealer says tht us what the warranty covers.“…the ‘insatiability doctrine – we spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t last, on people we don’t care about.” Professor Tim Jackson

Drivethedeal Brand new Fiesta 5dr 1.2 Zetec £10,176 which will come with a 3 year warranty and no MOTs for 3 years, tyres that will last a couple of years, an exhaust that will not need replaced, brakes that should last 3 years and no need to change a cambelt for 3-5 years (all of which will not be covered by any warranty).
You seriously need to do the sums.0 -
My car I have chosen is Ford Fiesta 2012 (62) £8,500
Ford dealer has an Experien HP check certificate plus they have just done a mechanical service which they have stamped the service book. Would I need to still pay AA or RAC to do a HP check and mechanical check?“…the ‘insatiability doctrine – we spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t last, on people we don’t care about.” Professor Tim Jackson

Can't comment on the cost of the car itself but you could ask for extras such as a full tanks of fuel like you said and/or years worth of car tax if it needs to be renewed or scotch guard to protect the seats.0
