Clearly its the wrong car I quoted then?

They are normally very good - maybe no discount on that car?

I have bought one new car from drivethedeal (a Pug 307 - what a mistake that was) and a few years later my WRX from carfile.net.

Both were excellent - both cars were delivered on the back of a low loader as part of the deal so there were no high mileages on a new car, all in good condition, and all the cars were as speceed. I paid the money to the dealer and not the broker in both cases so there was no risk of anything going wrong, and it all worked really well. Did try matching with an online price and the local dealer but it was so difificult I gave up. They mumbled about it not being fair, but I said to them - why should I pay more for the same car and they shut up.

It works - and I'll back them both.

The LTD edition vRS is being released to the dealers only.
You will struggle to get much off it at all. Some dealers aren't even taking part-ex against them.
My mother has just put down a deposit on one and I must say it represents very good value for money at the rrp.
The fact that production of the standard vRS has now stopped I imagine it would make it all the more difficult to haggle a price. I got a great deal on mine and really like the car.
