So, you've bought a BA. What discount did you get? Was it a private or fleet sale? (I'm particularly interested in FPV and XR pricing) Or did you get extras for free?
Reason: why don't we see what the going rates are and use OUR power against the dealers (not the other way around).
Note;
No BS figures. For this to work we need real numbers.

BA XR6t ute, Manual, Narooma blue, Standard Tow pack, Tint, Premium Brakes, and my Sports Bar swapped from the AU.
No trade in and paying cash.
I have heard rumours of better prices all over the shop, but was never able to do better than that.
Yeah, but what was the DISCOUNT? i.e. give RRP and then paid price and/or discount amount.
Like for example - my Monaro CV8 was:
RRP $63000 (approx)
Paid $56200
Discount $6800
(approx 6 weeks after car's release, private, no trade)

Still waiting for delivery.. Come on mid March..
XR6T, Auto, Phantom (Prestige paint), premium sound.
I am a fleet buyer and got $5159 discount and got window tinting thrown in for free. (Would have cost me $350-$450 for window tint but I guess it does not cost the dealer that so I see that as at least an additiona $350 off).
Will see what other goodies I get when it is delivered.
Got my Ba xr6 NA Manual with 18's and prestige paint for $40800 on road. Traded in AUII Falcon S with 91k on the clock and got $20,800 - 20k changeover.

My XR8 in Phantom has a RRP of $ 50, 630.00 and I got a special allowance of $ 3, 265.00. Then I added Premium sound at $900.00 and ORC of a total of $ 4, 735.05.
