Ah, thanks. A spot of googling suggests $2.5 - $3k

Simon, you're not pretending to parade your foolishness; you really
are foolish.

A child could have got a discount on a cash purchase for a car.

Not necessarily with a car in high demand with the delivery
6 months in advance, when the salesman knows that he can
flog as many as are produced at the list price.

You must be every salesman's delight.

Quite. Although buying an ex lease or whatever car at auction - where it
has simply reached the age and mileage where a main dealer won't want it
as used stock - can be a good deal. But you need to get it at auction
price rather than from a bomb site dealer who has given it a valet and
doubled the price.

I bought my car at auction. 3 years old and 30k miles. It had just come
off lease. I bought it for almost exactly 30% of list price. The only
flaw with the car was that some ******* had taken one of the keys, and
flogged it on ebay for £20. Getting a new one cost £200.

What use is a key without the car ?.

Bought by someone who needs one for their car.

If you already have one, fine. But because of the demand from taxi
drivers, they are poor value used. And that's before you consider people

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.

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.

Irrelevant to the stupid amount of money you

And you'll have to pay even more to fix the Giulia,
and will have paid the full price plus more for it too.

You can do that in much more viably priced cars that arent steaming

Mindlessly simplistic. Dealers do what they always do,
get what they believe they can get out of the buyer.

Yes, sometimes that is what they paid for it, so they
dont have to keep paying to have it sit on the floor.

You dont seriously believe that dealers pay
cash for all the cars on the floor do you ?

Its quite simple..

the dealer has a target set by the manufacturer, if he meets that target
the dealer gets a discount on *all* the cars he has sold that period.
So if the dealer is just short of his target he has three options..

Do nothing and lose the extra discount on *all* the cars he has sold.

Pre register some cars and pretend they have been sold as required.

Give a buyer a good discount (maybe even less than cost) to ensure the sale.

After I paid him the £5000, he said that I would get a free bottle of wine with it. So I said I will still have to pay the VED for six months and you will put 2 litres of petrol in it.

Not leather seats or 18in wheels which adds on another £2000.

Farking hell, that is a stupid price to pay for those.

Forgot metallic paint at £700

You're buying black, stupid.

and run flat tyres as well, so £2000 is looking cheap.

Insane price.

Test car optional extras: Assistance pack (£2,100), ceramic brakes (£9,375), Audi hands-free boot opening system with Advanced key (£750), Speed limit display (£250), parking pack (£810), RS Sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (£1,000), Panoramic glass sunroof (£1,300), Audi Connect and Audi Phone Box (£750)


I realise that you can afford all of those optional extras and have them fitted
on your car.

I could just not afford such.

Unlikely that one of those would be flogging Italian cars.
