Discount schemes for new pick ups a waste of time?

[lloyd]

I believe you can negotiate as much discount
without becoming a member of a farming or sporting organisation .
Over several years this will cost you a fair bit along
with having to wait 6 to 12 months to activate the discount!

Thoughts?

No, the discount is from the manufacturer so negotiate hard then claim the manufacturer discount.

Ive been told it doesn't work like that by Toyota salesman

He has offered me trade discount which is what the schemes achieve!

The trouble is that savvy dealers will know you’re going to claim the (eg NFU) discount, and negotiate accordingly.

I should think everyone gets the 'trade' discount.

The nfu and basc discount is set by the manufacturers and that’s it.toyota is currently 19%.ford was 15% a couple weeks ago when I asked.if you buy on a fleet deal you will get I beleive 23% from Toyota but that’s for 3 or more.you can often run a vehicle for a year and then trade it in for more than you paid for it

Think I will wait for that extra discount that is automatically applied to a new vehicle as soon as the first owner drives it off the forecourt...

Try actually doing it. BASC (via Tyson Cooper) got Mrs Brisel £3800 off her BMW 1 Series. The dealer couldn't match that.

£4k off a new Ranger and similar off a Navarra via my buying group, but I haven't approached the dealer directly to see what they'd do for me as a retail sale. I will do so for interest.

I don't need to
Just got over £5k off no scheme.
Which goes back to the title thread.

Just use a scheme voucher to add to your £5k discount.

The fleet deal sounds very good

 

[A1an]

I negotiated a dealer discount on my Ranger then mentioned I would be taking advantage of Scottish Land & Estates discount . I forget the exact figures but I was pretty pleased with myself .

 

[Still Farming]

They usually want or get discounts back as required years of memberships etc etc ???

Landrover defenders haven't depreciated much.
Toyotas hold their value pretty well too

You will usually find that a manufacturers discount will not be used with an NFU or other voucher it's one or the other. Been there done that.

My brothers father in law got a big discount buying a new Volvo through local mart.

Made a big saving compared to buying it from local dealer.

Exactly

Exactly

Some Ford dealers will apparently add the standard discount to the normal discount to give a massive discount of around 22%. Someone copied an invoice to this place to prove it. I was surprised, as I did not believe they did that, but they did, including on all Ford accessories. The Ranger Wildtrak was discounted to around £22k if I remember correctly, including tow hitch etc.

Sometimes you can get extra discount if its old stock they want to shift because of
a change to the model!
