Hello and hope another member whose bought an AUTO SX i30 recently, can tell me how good a deal I should expect during the sales coming up this weekend? 

Appreciate your feedback as a new member looking specifically to making a purchase when the prices should be at their best.

Welcome Greenthumb... I'm sure some of our friendly members will be able to point you in the right direction..

Although, not everyone wants to divolge exactly what they paid for their car...

A good start would be to browse carsales.com for their best deals on the model you are looking for .. It makes a big difference if you are a cash buyer with no trade.. If you have a trade it is obviously the changeover that matters..

I got what I thought was an OK deal by buying a PreReg which had only the 15mls delivery milage on the clock.  Without run ning round to get all the paperwork out I think I paid 8.350 UKP's plus my 7yr old Toyota Yaris. The Yaris, despite having quite low milage was in fact coming up for major spend in that.  When Idid a tight figure of eight to ets the CV joints they where clicking noticable and, since I am now too old and fat to be crawing about under cars I would have had to pay a garage to do the work, ergo, time to get rid...

Anyhow I got my i30 edition with the deal I have just outlined...  then waited for the usual peeps (no one here of course) to crawl out of the woodwork saying "Oh I coulda got one one cheaper than that" or....  well ya know what I mean 

Anyhow, good luck with your adventure, keep us informed

Oh I forgot to say, Welcome to the club, how rude of me....

P.S. Asa forgot to mention you will need to allow for exchange rates and the the cost of freight from the UK if you want to use that price as a guide 

[eye30]

Decide on your budget + or- a few $ as to what you want to pay and if it comes within that price then just go for it.

I've found that by waiting/checking other dealers/suppliers the deal that was on the table gets pulled and you end up paying more.

I agree with Lester .. play hard ball to a certain extent but if they can find you the right colour at a fair price just go for it..

this is a guide, but of course doesn't allow for the trade in negs
