Managed to knock off 4k on my Astra at the start of the recession, and got in 12 months free tax, tank of fuel and a months insurance just by playing hard to get!
I've just purchased a Mini Cooper and got a grand off that, even with williams whos monthly quota is lower than others due to higher prices and better depreciation than most - everyone is struggling!

What a load of shit you have just posted, to say car dealers are on there arse now at this time is just verbal bullshit. They have never had it so good with this scrappage scheme, most have reported record sales for this time of year. The likes of Ford, Vauxhall, Fiat etc like the ones you have just mentioned above, and whats this load of shit about playing hard to get? Dealers will always make money out of you no matter what, for example Vauxhall where knocking Vectras out at £8000 less than the rrp, alright the new insignia was due out and at the time people wasnt buying cars, but if you worked it out after all the interest was paid and the final payment went through, you actually paid the rrp for the car.
Alright i have seen deals of a low percentaged, but you will not get £4000 knocked off that price, but if you px your car in the scrappage scheme you will get the £2000 off. Ive even seen deals where the manufacturer to match the 2k, but i bet they make it back on interest, thats how they work.
