greetings all,
I've been in the market recently for a used 118i and have spoken to 3 different BMW dealers in different parts of the country about cars i found on the AUC website, but none of the dealers have been willing to negotiate at all on the price.
i don't want finance and have no part-ex and so i realise that that's probably not exactly music to their ears, but i did at least think these places would still be open to a tiny bit of movement on price?
i admit i'm not a great business negotiator and probably don't know what i'm doing, so i am just asking you folks for some advice please about the state of the market and if these days these prices are just take it or leave it ?
the cars i've been enquiring about admittedly haven't seemed out of line with other similar vehicles on the market, but i guess i just assumed that whatever price they put on the windscreen is inflated by default?
The cars i've been looking at have been around £18-20k.
thanks in anticipation of any advice.
Paul.
