Just wondering how much you guys were able to negotiate off the price or have extras thrown in when you bought your new cars?

Good useful thread. The ACCC would be proud.

I bought a '07 spec B GT sedan with mesh grill, mats, iPod jack and tint for $58,500- drive away. No trade in.

i bought a spec-b gt, dished rubber mats, tint, an i-pod jack for $60500.... but they gave me 6 gorilla's more for my trade than anybody else offered.

edit: btw i got this through a group buy.

Yeah i got fleet discount for mine aswell. Not the best deal but a good one for owning one of the first on the road.

Pretty much the GST proportion off.

Would your blood run cold if I had a discount of $7500 + all the goodies (mats towbar oilcooler + other bits )

Fleet discount is given for a fleet of over 12 cars .
I personally think it stinks
but their was no way that i wasn't going to take advantage :biggrin:

If you hold an abn and the car is a legitimate (yeah right) 'business expense' yes you can claim the GST back on your next BAS. In a round about way it saved me 5k.

Same here, claim 89% of the GST at purchase. BUT have to pay 100% GST on sale of old car!!

Also claim 89% (log book method) of running costs.
