    Only haggling advice is know the market value of the car.

    You cannot beat a salesman at his game, but if you do your research and know what the car is worth that will prevent the salesman from overpricing the car.

    One side thing, just be mindful that the 1.0 in a car of this class will be slow...

    well left the car for a month,went back today and bought it for £2587. they are going to fix the dent and few other minor scratches, put 6 months road tax on it and they waived some £99 fee.i'm sure they will prob still make a profit but a £900 saving sounds good to me,admittedly i did trade my 55 picanto in against it and got £500.
