Re: NEW Discounted 500s at car supermarkets

As some have said the discounts are due to orders that have been changed or cancelled. The other thing is that demand in some places is a wee bit slower than expected. I believe that some of this is because not enough of them are on the streets yet. Once a few more of us are seen out and about on the road, the dealers will be getting much busier.

I was happy to get exactly the car that I wanted to my spec. I could have had a pre-built one that the dealer had specified but wanted to wait for my own design.

Me: Are you sure? It says you have on your website.

Me: Well I'm ready to buy a red one if you can find one
Him: No, we havent got any
Me: Are you absolutely positive as I'm ready to buy one...
Him:Positive
Me: OK. Bye then!

So if anyone from Trade Sales reads this, send me an email and you can sell a car by return!
I had the same problem, trouble is you really have to go there to understand what they/and you are dealing with...

The locations spralls across two sides of a main road in slough, and they have approx 1000 cars in stock, and +25 salesman on a weekend. They sell literally 100's of cars a week.

Its not really a case of them needing you, if you want the discount its a case of you needing them.

Your best bet is to get on down there..when I dealt with them there attitude is not dissimilar to that of all the Fiat dealers I have met.

The discounts have started. They started at dealers near me 2 weeks ago and supermarkets this week.

Dealer offering £1400 upgrade so 1.3 or 1.4 for 1.2 price or sport/lounge for pop money but you had to take out their finance agreement and I ended up 500 to 700 quid better off not 1400.

Supermarket deals Ive seen offering 500 to 900 pounds off. Not just trade-sales.Look around for yourself I'll get slaggd off for telling y'all abouts the discounted ones and where they are.If U had just paid list price for a 500 last week U would be pee'd off if some mare told you they was discounted now.

See also nf500 guy who has his name down for a trade-sales 500
I put link earlier in the thread and will prob get told off for that too.
I would appriciate if you keep me/us up to date with discounts found either while surfing, or on your travels, as in my eyes this can only be good for the consumer.

Re: NEW Discounted 500s at car supermarkets

Intresting thread this one don't reply often on here for certain reasons but this one caught my eye, a "source" of mine who works for trade sales told me about the 500's they would have coming, he also said that they would be a mixture of left hand drive and imported models, as for discount from the dealer no chance not even staff get discounts......

Re: NEW Discounted 500s at car supermarkets

I want £1000+ discount off a 500 so car supermarkets are prob the best bet for me at the mo.

For peeps who are happy with a few hundred pounds off,
the dealer offers such as the 'cost price + £1' deal from T J Vickers could be good. I dont even know where Shropshire is but I was thinking it might help others.

Stoneacre are offering 0% finance now on 500s.
that could appeal to some of you.

If you see Any more 500 offers from dealers or car supermarkets put them on here or start a new thread and share the info with everyone.

<The Fiat sales lads who drink near me say 500 sales are so slow for them and some of the other dealers, there will be even bigger discounts on 500s in a few weeks, but they could be wrong, maybe a few hundred squid is the biggest discount you will get for ages, in which case rush out a buy one and enjoy it.>

Yes, but never say die.
Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey.
500s seem to be slow to sell in some places and offers seem to be getting better week by week.

I don't give up easily
