It all depends what car you go for, leaving it to nearer the end of a quiet month might get you a bit more off, like November through to Jan, then there is the VAT free deals that skoda do that saves you 20% on brand new

Do you really want to try and sell your privately in this climate

If a salesman won't budge just say you may think about it, casually mentioning your going to look at the same car elsewhere first, and dont be afraid to get up and walk, they want to sell.

Thats how I got a 36,000 mile 59 plate Skoda superb for £7000, book price was £12,000, and got £1500 trade in on my Octavia with 237,000 miles on it.

SWMBO is picking up a 10 plate superb later today its only got 7000 miles on it for £10400, book is £14,000.

Check out auto trader for the car you're looking for to see what prices they are selling for and the mileages, this will give you a ballpark figure of what to expect to pay then haggle them down, even include mats and a full tank of fuel, make sure it has a spare wheel and tools, decent tyre tread, a min 6 month road tax, and dont forget you can take your own road tax and cash in the remainder, if you trade in

Just out of interest what vehicle are you thinking of??

What do you want a fuel guzzeling Yank tank for???

Your van has a MTPLM of 1450kg. 

Any family sized car will tow that, even a 2ltr tdi Skoda octavia
