the one in redditch is a trader, the other one is a private seller, i'd hate to annoy a private seller coming in with a cheeky offer? would knocking 1k off a car be acceptable?

thanks for your advice buddy, very much appreciated.
First off there is nothing cheeky about a low offer. You will likely get a better deal from a private person. I offered below asking price on mine and then had a PPI done. Some work was needed according to PPI and asked for another $1k off. My offer was accepted. I don't think anybody else was looking at it. It is easier dealing with a private person because he/she does not do that every day. The dealer does. Get receipts for work done. Dealer is not so good about supplying that info. All the $$$/pounds u save then goes into the Porsche piggy bank. You likely will need that for repairs. Pay now or pay later!PPI is a must. If too much work required walk away or be prepared to pay to get it fixed or fix it yourself.Bargain hard!|Enjoy the ride.....
