Buying a new Vauxhall from Holland or dealer

PhilUK_3

Ok... I bought a car a couple of years ago.. A Vauxhall Vectra GSi and it was like 22k and because there was no sales guy about I spoke to a business guy there.

Now.. If you bought a car for like 22k like i did you WILL get at least 3k off it.

You just have to tell them that you are self employed.. They dont even check on it. Make a name incase they ask you.. But if you buy a vectra or astra thats 12k you will get 8-12% of it.. and thats no including any deals you can get. This is a vauxhall discount and not a dealer.. as the discount is off the car direct. The deals ar for all vauxhall cars, you dont even have to speak to the business side..

I went to get a convertable and I was offered it agan when i asked about it. I didnt like the astra one so I got the 307cc but the discount is worth it.!

If you use this please do post here. This will be the best deal you will every find if you buy a vauxhall car!

If you have a question please post it here.

Any idea why you get the discount, self employed or not?

Just tell them that you are self employed / own a business .. Its a offer that only vaxhall seem to offer.. I tried with ford when i bought a feista.. but only vauxhall do it!

How do you get the discount, do you contact Vauxhall directly or my local dealer?

Can you combine it with the 3% discount from The GM Credit Card?

So are you saying that if you tell the seller a lie you can save a lot of money?

Have you got any tips to do with shoplifting?

Hardly comparable ::)
If Vauxhall are "honest" enough to charge people about 10% more merely for the fact that people are employed by someone else, surely its no more dishonest to play the game?

Has anyone any good advice regarding how to beat the price down on any car?
Playing one dealer off against another?
Buying on the continent?
Would be interested to know.

Buy from a broker like http://www.drivethedeal.com/ who supply cars from UK main dealers at a discount of between 5 and 30% depending on the make and model.
