Female Drivers can get the best bargains!

Yes, it may surprise you, but recent statistics show that female drivers get more discounts that their male counterparts! Generally, men will get the bigger discounts, but fewer of them are prepared to haggle than females are.

Tips on getting the best price:

• Don't show excitement when you first see the car of your dreams!
• Ask questions that show you know what matters - mileage - service history - number of owners etc
• Treat the screen or advertised price as a starting point, not as the figure you are expecting to pay.
• Show buying signals as far as the car is concerned, but voice your concerns over anything you don't like.
• If you have seen a simlilar car at a lower price elsewhere, show a little enthusiasm to whoever you're with about that one, making comparisons.
• Try not to decide on your first visit.
• When you do come to negociating a price, don't accept the first discount. NO good salesman will offer you his best discount at the first negotiation.
• Once you are sure, after the second, third or even fourth drop in price that you have the best deal, ask for something free to clinch the deal there and then, such as road tax, extended warranty etc.
