The company I work for (until redundancy in a few weeks time - boo!) have struck a relationship with Fiat Auto Financial Services. This means we now have access to their staff scheme. Discounts are: Panda - 26% Grande Punto - 24% Bravo - 20% Doblo - 25% Multipla - 20% Sedici - 25% 147 - 20% GT - 17% 159 - 20% Spider - 14% Question is - with a lot of hard bargaining, are these discounts possible in the real world? On the face of it - these seem pretty good..... Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Certainly 25% off a Doblo would, I think, be easy on the High Street. Might need to be a pre-reg with nil miles but think still attainable. Reply | Report as offensive | Link

You can already get these discounts if you barter enough 25% of a Panda full MRP is normal. Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Might be a trouble-free way of getting a cheapish Alfa though. Frequenting this website sometimes fills me with an unseemly sort of envy. Reply | Report as offensive | Link

When the FIAT UK staff look out of the windows at FIAT HQ they can see all the heavily discounted FIAT pre-regs stacked up over the road at Trade Sales! Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Call me cynical, but wait till the car's a day old and it's already depreciated by that amount anyway. Double the figure a year later. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE Italian cars and dreamed of a Stilo Multiwagon for company car 4 years ago. (Ended up with an Astra...) Reply | Report as offensive | Link

I believe in the next couple of weeks we'll be offered access to the lease scheme which is a cost of 1% of MRP per month. Reply | Report as offensive | Link

I believe in the next couple of weeks we'll be offered access to the lease scheme which is a cost of 1% of MRP per month. Your first post with talk of discounts etc, confused me. The above (or even cheaper) is more like the kind of scheme that most manufacturers offer staff, with the cars replaced at 6-9mths. And often they can have cars for close family too. I know several people in different manufacturers who use these schemes - everything is included in the monthly cost, all they have to do is put fuel in. Reply | Report as offensive | Link
