Getting a new car is one of life’s pleasures. Whether you’re looking for something family friendly or something stylish and sporty that’s just for you, make it happen with our low cost car loans. Having the money in your pocket will help you secure the best possible price. For more advice on haggling, we caught up with motoring expert Quentin Wilson…
1. Never pay the asking price. Try for a 20% discount
2. Try bag some freebies such as free servicing or insurance
3. For used cars, insist on seeing the car's service history, which can add 10% to a used car’s resale
4. Time your purchase around when dealers have monthly or quarterly targets to hit
5. Don't get too emotionally involved when negotiating – just put yourself forward and do it
