    Before you make an offer, especially if that offer is going to be the maximum you're willing to pay, remember the "halfway" trick.

    If the total price is $27,990 and you make an offer of $25,000, there's a pretty good chance you'll pay something closer to $26,495 which is "halfway".

    If you reverse the calculation, you'd need to offer $22,010 to get $25,000 as the "halfway" price - but most salesman know that people generally wouldn't make that low of an offer because they are worried that they might come across as being unreasonable.

    Obviously, any negotiations are subject to whether there is actually room to move in the prices.

  • new 2016 builds are being advertised for $25k in NSW
    new 2017 builds are being advertised for $26.3k in NSW

    I think you can probably haggle $1500 on the price + some accessories.

    On-road costs between NSW and Vic should only be a few hundred dollars difference.

  • The new Qashqai, Pathfinder and Xtrail's all look exactly the same to me. I can't tell them apart.

    • Just different sizes:

      Qashqai - small
      Xtail - medium
      Pathfinder - large

  • what niche market is Qashqai trying to address? I could never figure that.

      X1, HR-V & CX 3?
      Basically small SUV for people who want to be seated higher?

    • It's called "compact SUV" it's relatively new.

  • My process has always been upfront. Just give them the price your happy to pay. Do your research as suggested 26.3k is the advertised price in nsw I would be offering 25.8k no negotiation. they are a great car we have had no issues with our 2014 ti automatic 70000 Kms just had regular services.

    Nothing, they are rubbish. Do yourself a favour and look into their problems with CVT gearbox first.

    Spend a bit more and get a Subaru Forester.

      We own a Qashqai, its exceptional value for money, especially the Ti model with all the tech.
      But in terms of stability, driveability, safety, the Forester wins hands down.

      If youre still keen on the Qashqai i'd be expecting a generous discount or some accessories thrown in as the mid-life face-lift with autonomous freeway driving is just around the corner.

  • Reading all the responses looks like I should be aiming for $25k including as many accessories I can get them to add. Would it be unreasonable if I asked them to add 3 years servicing.

    • The 2.9% will be in their bottom line too, so don't be surprised if they're not as negotiable on the 2.9% deal.
