What colour is it?

But that £7k difference is not your haggling skills, its a combination of horrendous depreciation, a shite economy, an extortionate starting price and market price adjustment etc etc I was just highlighting how much of a buyer's market it currently is. I'm useless at haggling Of course, just that the OP was asking about haggling margins etc....I'd be mightily impressed if anyone bartered a £19k car down to £12k......he be a top boy.........or a ****ing fit woman.....

It'll beworth a lot less than £12k in 12 months.........

Dodgy seller

Surely this isn't suprising? End of a line, new car in the pipeline, credit crunch and a surplus of 350 stock..............

Early April?? It'll have depreciated another £500 by then...............

Well you've spent 3 years thinking about it, whats another few months.........

I don't know if my house has a kitchen........

+1,000 You wouldn't believe the people that would offer to buy my Gallardo for £10k under what I was asking via TEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they are not articulate or brave enough to pick up the phone about a £85k purchase then they have no chance of even getting a viewing, especially as my family and my safety is paramount. I never understand people offering money for a car they haven't seen!?!?

Nice Seats are too, you have no problem selling them.......

Its already black

+1 Why respray it a standard nissan colour. i know you want it a unique shade of white but who'd know apart from you?

I'd sell up and buy a white one..............who would buy a resprayed white uk car?

Even Ferrari's et al don't have costs like that, its more than a third of the cars cost. An engine shouldn't cost £32k never mind consumables...........

They weren't impressed by your postcode

Take a zero off then maybe................

anything will be loud compared to stock

You can get the PE kit installed for £6k

That illustrates my point, if those figures are even slightly accurate. If a dealer takes those cars in PX and sells them at the dealer prices then there is only slightly more than £2k profit in the car before they even think about servicing, tax, mot, valeting and warranties... Getting a dealer to knock off £2.5k is unrealistic imo. Dealers have no emotive reason to sell. Your more likely to get a desperate private seller to do that imo........

Its hard to say how much I would let it go for, a clear indicator to me is how much would I pay for it............and to be honest not much more than £500 MAX...

I think the key is to be confiden but also knowledgable. Go prepared, know your market and be prepared to recite to him at least two or three details of other similar, cheaper cars. Make him think his is overpriced. Let him know that its his car you want but at a price in line with the others available. On the flipside if their are no thers available cheaper then tread carefully to secure a deal. If his car is cheap already that does not mean he's desperate and will automatically chop another £2.5k off just because you asked. The market is @*!# at the moment but traders still need to make a profit so they need to sell but i doubt their is £2.5k clear profit in £16k cars at the moment......

I was quizzing Middlehursts on this, but to be fair they've asked the question a 1000 times and not had a commited response..... but they have an inklin. Best guesses at this time.....are: Red that's the same as the 350z (and GTR) so flat not metallic. Silver similar to blade on 350z (like this and I don't think it suited the car, as some have said made it look a bit large in places) Pearlescent White Black The new blue (which looks different everytime you see a new photo) A similar colour (can't remember what it's called) to Gunmetal but has a bit of a goldey tint to it. And a very similar colour which is like Gunmetal but lighter... Agree it looks good in darker colours though..... although the pics I have seen of the white look nice. They had a colour card of the white there and that's nice.... Why are Nissan so dull with their colours, they did this with the GT-R! White Silver Grey Dark Grey Black and then a red and a blue? How imaginitive........................
