PaulR Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hi all, I've currently got a 2000 plate Puma and whilst it's been great it's time for a change. The Fiesta 1.6 TDCi in Hot Magenta looks great but list price is just silly. Online places like 'buy a car' and 'new car discount' seem to offer one for around £13,000. Has anyone got any experience of these places or indeed any other suggestions for a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aph1101 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hi and Welcome to the forum :) My best advice is to try the evans halshaw dealer network. They were very helpful and gave us a discount of around £1600 on a new fiesta (spec in signature) not to mention around £1500 more on a part ex than 3 other dealers we had tried (£6500 conmpared to £5000) Hope this helps ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymac16 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I agree evans gave me a good discount, and a good trade in price for my old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ-MK.J Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I agree evans gave me a good discount, and a good trade in price for my old one. I nearly went online for my car, only because my dealer could"nt get anywhere near the online price, but after a bit of haggling they got very close so I went for my local dealer, in the end I was glad I did , Ive heard a few horror stories of people buying online, get a quote online then take it to the dealers if they want your business you will get a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a really good deal on mine - including part exchange on my old car - from Lloyds TSB CarSelect - http://www.carselect.lloydstsb.com/new/home.aspx Outstanding level of customer service too! Would definitely use them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulR Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thanks chaps - I'll give these a go and see what they can do. I must admit - I'm a bit wary of these online only places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulworthing Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 either that or get 2 localish Ford dealers to bid against each other - I did and managed to get almost 3K off the price of mine and all without the need to be a good negotiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Shark Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I had the advantage of a Ford Privilege discount, but I went to the dealer armed with multiple quotes from websites, and said if you can get near, I'll go with you. They did get near, and I went with them! B) So get some quotes, and see what you can negotiate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulR Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Never bought a new car before- always said it was for mugs! Placed the order with new car discount as it was not only the best price but the say delivery by 17 October. Let's hope they're telling the truth. Hot Magenta 1.6TDCi Titanium with f&r park sensors, int pack 1, lumber support all in £13.5k All I need now is someone to buy my Puma..........
