Anyone bought a new car recently?
I'm thinking of taking advantage of one of these end of finanical year deals...
Just trying to find out if anyone has bought a new car in the past few months and if so what sort of discount they managed to negotiate.
Interested to know:
Type of Car, Dealer purchased from, RRP, price you paid.

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?
hi
just bought a Kia Grande Carnival, paid the list price, but it was upgraded from the base model to the luxury, also got the interior mats, window tints, reverse sensors and sidesteps thrown in.
got a $500 discount for taking a colour that was in stock (it wasn't our favourite) and then the guy rang to say he had made a mistake and got the colour we wanted anyway

Hi
Hit them hard they want your custom, we have bought a new Toyota landcruiser Sahara 4.2TD list price $97500 plus extras(mats,tints etc) including on road costs, we played two toyota dealers of with each other, in the end we paid $817900, we have had the car for four months now. We have been pleased with the discount we managed to get, i suppose it helps with me coming from the car trade in the uk, but you and anyone can get good discounts

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?
I just bought a brand new Nissan Pathfinder diesel Ti for delivery when we arrive in Oz. Played several dealers off against each other, most bowed out at OTR $56,500.
Our chosen dealer was $55271 including window tints, mats, 5 year warranty.
List price is about $62,000 OTR or something.
Most exciting!

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?
Hey,
We have lined up a Nissan X-Trail, the recent price drop put the Ti model at around $33500 (RRP $35,990). We got the car plus $1600's worth of extras, on the road for $31500 and we got 12 months rego and the first free service included.
Probably could have got more but having lined it up from here in the uk we are happy with the price.
Cheers

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?
OK well I suggest you have a chat with some Perth dealers, we bought in Melbourne and the dealer is delivering the car to the airport as part of the deal. I have heard that you will pay more for a Nissan in WA than in VIC, I may have remembered that wrong. Just play the dealers off against each other.

A bit more thinking to be done but I always screw dealers down till they squeek.
Might also consider pre ordering for when we arrive.
Cheers.
