Haggling is defiantly a thing in the UK you wouldn't buy a car for sticker price.
- Moissanite 4y agoPrior to 2020 this was true; I think I got around 13% off my last new car. However since the pandemic shortages and with manufacturing delays, there is much less flexibility as the dealerships know the cars are going to sell either way. When I went to test drive a car recently I saw a couple getting a flat denial on any discount even after attempting to haggle.
