Hi all

I'm taking a trip to my local Car Shop later today as they have a car in stock that ticks all my boxes and I've so far not found anywhere else.

Has anyone ever had any luck haggling at Car Shop? Their website says prices are fixed but say and do can be different! So thought I'd check here for any anecdotal info.

Any other tips or tricks when buying from them would also be useful.

Many thanks

    Bring someone who knows a bit about cars and not all excited about buying a car to go along with you.
    It already reads like you have talked yourself into getting that particular car, usually or I should say often, the follow up thread about 30 day return thread follows.

    Please, tell me more! As in the cars are often duds?
