Unless you're shopping for a Mini or Smart, you'll have to haggle in car showrooms or you'll pay too much. Do you think it's time manufacturers put a stop to this by quoting their best price up front? Or is it just free-market economics and a fact of modern life? Maybe you're actually pretty good at it and have some top tips for the rest of us?

Ultra picky and opinionated - no, badge conscious and out of touch - yes ! When are we going to be able to vote for cars we can actually afford to own an DO own, rather than those we may aspire to or believe we should vote for because of STREET CRED. When is reality going to take precedence over fantasy ? a Citroen in luxury cars? Really ? No Vauxhall's in the family category ? All Chelsea Tractors in the 4x4's and no affordables ? Get some proper cars in the categories and I might vote and believe the end result has some credibility - but for now, NO CHANCE !
