Asset chipping

I’m looking at a BMW 3 series convertible. List price with extras is £35k. What sort of discount should I aim to get?

No fixed amount. Whatever you can negotiate. But a Lexus IS250C is that sort of money and you might prefer it as a car. See video demo at: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road_tests/index.htm?id=394 Also check out the Infiniti G37 Coupe Cabrio (if you live anywhere near Reading). Even if you don’t prefer the other cars to the BMW, you can use them as negotiating tools.
