DavidAshton Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Went to look at a Glanza saturday, was pretty much perfect set up wise how i want one, body work has a few bits that need doing but that would be done before i buy it. Now in regards to the price he would not budge off the asking price (Was an Import Garage not a private owner). Ive never bought a car before and was always advised people never sell cars for the asking price etc. etc.So i was wondering is it normal when buying Glanza/import from an specialist import place for them to just wait till they get the price they want?He only had 15 or so cars, and i was thinking its not like a normal dealership where they have sales targets and loads of the same cars to shift so he could wait for the price he wants. Going down with a deposit saturday, so should i try and get some money off or pay what he is asking and try and get as much as possible thrown in?Any help would be great...

WallaceGlanza Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd never pay the window price, just see what you can get off by paying cash or getting whatever extras you can.Make sure you don't lose anything by him going down in price though, when I bartered for my glanza I ended up losing the warranty without knowing!

SiCaln Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 was gonna say the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yea wont hurt to get him down to £3600 though Worth a try Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SooperD Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 yea id agree, its always worth trying. Ive been looking into importing 1 and tbh there isnt huge amounts of money to be made, you could probably save £500 tops. But then u have to wait a month while the car is shipped etc. Thats why im gonna go down the same route as you and get 1 already here. Beware tho as some people charge silly prices for these cars. ive seen similar 1's with only a few more mods than this going for over 4k etc. I think these people are those who like me thought that importing it theirself would make them money but it only works if you put the price up more than what most go for.Good luck mate.. Hope to see some pics soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks for all the advice, I bought it anyway at the asking price, got a radio thrown in and a few extra bits doing bodywork wise, picking it up 2 weeks on sunday.........cant wait ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
