Just pricing changing to a 241 plate . Have gotten a ball park figure from a few dealers there all in around the same. Just wondering how much wiggle room is there or are they willing to drop to get a deal over the line. |

I’ve never had a dealer drop their price when buying a brand new car. We looked at a hybrid recently and there’s currently a waitlist until April…not sure buyers have the upper hand with them atm. Only wiggle room we’ve ever been able to manage with new cars is trade in pricing. Good luck |

Hear there’s little wiggle room in brand new ones but there is in extras like draw bar, roof rack, customising etc.
More wiggle room in second hand ones but too a point. Market is strong so prices are strong. |

"Apologies yea I meant the trade in price. Somebody said there first offer they go in hard and try ride you on the trade in. They catch you every way "
Put your own car on one of the car selling sites. Last year I was buying a car and got a quote of 18k including trade in. I put my own car on Dd and got 5500 for it. Went back to the dealer and bought the other car for 20500. |

"Texas
Would you not recommend ??"
No I wouldn't. Not at this point anyway. If only doing short runs around town then maybe but even then if be hard pressed to buy a hybrid. Why carry a big heavy engine and a pile of batteries around as well? Those yolks drink petrol when it in the open road. Second hard market for full electric is pretty good tbf |

There are different types of hybrid - it's really important to differentiate here!
I drive a hybrid which can't be plugged in and actually runs on petrol. The battery is self charging, using the onboard fuel. I get between 5.5 - 6 liters per 100km in a 1.6 liter petrol engine which I find quite efficient compared to when I drove a 1 liter Polo which used that.
I'd never buy a plug in though!
