normally I'd say you might squeeze a grand out of them - either a discount or inflating your trade-in

however, at this time of year, I wouldn't be so confident unless you get in quick

once things warm up, which they will start to do imminently, they will shift every soft-top they can get their hands on

I would try to get it down to 25K minimum and then it would be a fair deal

What's the cheapest you can find a brand new car at the moment? (a) it will be an 05 plate; and (b) you will be the registered first owner which, depending upon your insurance company, will mean new for old on a write off within the first 12 months (that was the case with Tescos when I wrote mine off 2 years ago).
