The dealer can discount as low as his P&L allows. I have purchased 2 FPVs and you would be staggered as to how low they will go. Bare in mind that your trade will have an impact on the net changeover cost

Bare in mind that your trade will have an impact on the net changeover costI priced a BF GT-P right after the MKII release and it was substancially lower than RRP. They said they could do much with a fleet discount but they certainly done me an awsome deal with no trade in.

He said if it was registered then it would be a Demo and I woulda got the same deal that Rob E got for his R Spec.Ah well. They want $62,266 onroad.It says on the contract 'Discount' as $5128.52. Spose it's better than nothing.I'll post a pic of my new and old beasts together tomorrow.Cheers!
