Why should you get a discount for paying cash? You could try and haggle down a bit but if the car is already cheap you probably won't get much of a discount. Why not buy privately? You'll probably get a better deal.

If you put of some details of what you're looking for in a car, some of us might be able to help.

I suppose I could buy private have only checked carzone.ie all are dealers and some have recent nct - looking for auto micra- is there any good sites for private dealers ?

Depends on the car, what it owes them and loads of other variables , I got €700 off a car priced at €3000 in a dealer and sold it privately for €3500 6 months later. I have bought a car or two off dealers for small money and they wouldn't budge on the price.

That micra is manual, also seems to be lower spec than usual. No electric windows and I'm guessing no power steering.
