Shy bairns get nowt
99% of people dont ask for something, so be the 1% who does and chances are the price will drop, extras will be given, etc.

Also, when complaining on the phone, ask for £5 rebate to cover call charges. Mrs Cow does this all the time and it works!

Whilst I know this to be true
and am in no position to be a snob about it, I just cannot bring myself to do this, it just seems a bit pikey to me. I am well aware that this is ridiculous.

I got a really good deal on my current car
The ticket price was £1000 above book price. I got them down to book price, got a good trade in for my old heap, got a set of mats, full tank of petrol, got almost a whole year's worth of road tax back for my trade in, and got the alloys on my new car replaced under warranty due to a very minor imperfection.

The next time I went in I discovered that the salesman I had dealt with had 'left' not long after I'd bought the car. I suspect he maybe wasn't cut out for that sort of thing.
