Another question about car finance and purchasing - Happy Blue!

I want to buy a new car with a list price of £15,290. With the manufacturers special four year 0% finance HP deal, there is a £1,250 contribution towards the deposit of 40%.

Is that it, or is there room to negotiate the actual purchase price down as well, so that £15,290 becomes say £14,500 off which the £1,250 is taken?

You negotiate the price first, then you discuss how it will be paid for.

First stop for the price is to compare against a brokers price such as drivethedeal then get a dealer to match.
