Buying a nearly new car for first time
Hi,
I am new to the forum (been a fan of MSE website for ages) but recently I decided to take the plunge and buy a nearly new car. Now I'm not expecting replies of "Well done" or "You mug" (I'd say both might apply though!) I'm just writing this in case anyone else out there is about to buy a nearly new car or anyone can pass on some tips.
I've owned cars for over 10 years but they have all been 2nd hand and most I've paid is less than 3K and have bought them private. To cut a long story short I went to a VW dealership and plumped for a 56 plate Golf GTi 3dr manual with 9K on the clock for £16K, which was 2K of the list price. I know a could have gotten a better deal but I'm trying not to think about that (they wouldn't even give me mats/flaps/full tank petrol) I'm scheduled to pick the car up this week, however last night I spotted the same car on another site (apprivedused.com) for sale at £16,995 and advertised at 25k miles. I call the VW sales manager and they give me the fob off, saying the 9k mileage is genuine and that I still got the car 1000 cheaper. Now I feel a bit miffed that instead of getting a car with 2k knocked off it's only 1K. I feel I'm only learning at this as until a few months ago I'd never set foot in a dealership. I'm still looking forward to picking the car up but I want to take the other advert with me as I feel as I've been diddled over the price, but are all dealerships like that?
Let me know your thoughts/tips for future reference.
Thanks for listening! :D
