Dealer playing hardball

[Kingpopsy]

We are on our way as I post this to look at and probably purchase a 4 month old ocean. I have purchased lots of vehicles and always had a sweetener. This guy is only offering a tank of fuel. Trouble is, it's a really good price so not willing to walk. What could I squeeze him in for.

if the price is *really good* then isn't that the sweetener?

If you're not prepared to walk then it suggests you have a good deal doesn't it?

Service plan would be worth pushing for in my view.
Other than that I reckon you'd have a good chance of a big discount on an extra rather than more money off current purchase as they'll know their price is good.
Just my view and I'm not in this industry so not too sure.
Good luck and hope you get the van you want

See if you can get him to sell you the 5 year warranty as it's only available up to 3 months old.

How much is the extended warranty?

Sorry but as its 4 months old too late for extending the VW warranty i think.

Yeah, I will ask anyway. I'll try and get the service plan

 

[kp64zl]

let us know how you get on & good luck!

 

[scottk]

Think it's £329 + VAT for extra 2 years and up to 80k.

Probably not much that you can do other than dealer supplied parts, rubber mats, mud flaps.

My supplying dealer has sent me a letter saying that they have a shortage of my type of vehicle and can offer a good deal this week only. Bit of a sellers market?

No chance of the warranty if over 3 months old. Free servicing is the best bet. Have to say, the used prices seem very very firm at the moment given we are into winter.

Agree but worth trying.......

Well, brought the van. He wasn't giving me anything. Apart from a load of autoglym products which I'm happy with. Was worth watching some videos because on one of them they showed a electric hookup connection which is standard. It wasn't in the van but went and found it. The wife is smiling anyway because she's driving it. Thanks for the advice guys

Well done -- what's the spec?

I had the same 'hard ball' treatment when I bought my ex mgt Ocean from them last year.

If they are selling the best priced Calis on the market, it’s not really a problem!

 

[Jabberwocky]

Nice spec too!

Price is good though

What's with the microphone above the sun visor?

What's with the microphone above the sun visor?

It’s connected to the speakers in the rear so you don’t have to shout. It’s also for your phone if connected to Bluetooth
