Okay guys and gals.
I'm interested to know how so many of you seem to be achieving great discounts on your new WRX and STI's.

Is there a best time of the month to make a deal or a best time of year?

So share with Scoobynet your haggling hints and tips, or e-mail me, as I for one desperately need help in this department (I have the haggling skills of a blancmange).

Would love to trade in the MY99 for an MY04STI. (If I sell a few internal organs first and the kids go without food or clothes for a couple of years).

Hello?
Anybody there?

Last time I was in the same postion, I upgraded from an MY95 to an MY99. (used)

By timing it for the end of the month, I got a very good deal. But I had to be firm. What's the phrase, ummm "More front than Brighton pier" or something like that!

You have to set a limit that you will go to, obviously, this has to be a fair limit, but in YOUR favour
Go to the dealer and say it straight - I went in lower, and turned it on the dealer, when he said "Sorry, no", I said "You want the sale, I can go elsewhere, but I don't want to" (give them the bulldink about getting it serviced there etc - big them up in a polite manner)

BUT stick to your ground.

hope this helps

Go to yur dealer armed with a copy of What Car (& the target price) and a couple of prints of internet suppliers. New STi is around £23k. Either your dealer will deal (usually best at the end of the month) or not - if he doesnt, buy elsewhere. A few of the car brokers are good - dealer supplied car, with all the haggling already done! (Try Carfile).

Other suppliers of genuine, UK dealer sourced cars are:-

www.drivethedeal.co.uk
www.autoebid.com

Even if you'd prefer to buy direct from your local dealer, a print out from these guys will certainly help you in getting a really good deal.

The brokers have definitely changed things. With imports, the dealer already has a lot of excuses not to get near the price. But when you say you can get a UK car for import prices they can't argue. Got my Clio Cup for broker price from a dealer by doing this.

I'm looking to buy a wrx Scoob next week

Autoebid is the cheapest internet broker site I've seen to date..............

I have asked a few dealers for discounts on Scoobs - all have said 'no chance'
so I aint gonna buy direct from them.........
