As far as I know most things have a list price and a final price.

Some build in, say, 5% or 10% on the price as negotiating room.

Any rule of thumb for used vehicles in the £10-15k range?

I realised that it is a long time since I bought a car.

I buy my cars around a year old from a dealer, ex demo cars.
These have low mileage, have not been thrashed and there is an upper
limit on price. Typically they are 25% less than new.
And there is often manufacturers guarantee on them.
My last car had done just over 300 miles when I bought it.

The one I am interested in is around £44k new, and even £33k as ex-demo is
well outside my intended price range.

About 3 times my price range, roughly.

So new or nearly new is not an option.

In the past we have bought top specification at 3-4 years old, because the
major depreciation has already happened and you don't pay a premium for
all the optional extras.

Cheers
