Hyundai i30 - what discounts are out there?
My father (in his 70s) bought a new Hyundai i30 Comfort 1.4 petrol in September 2011. At the time the car was heavily discounted as the new model immanent. His annual mileage of 17,000 a year is greater than he originally expected with regular trips from Suffolk to Devon. He is now considering the new i30 1.6 diesel. As this model is still relatively new he is unlikely to obtain much of a discount. When would be the best time to buy this model by obtaining a discount and reasonable part exchange value on the current model

Any criticism of the steering, ride and handling of the 2012 cee'd or i30 are dispelled by driving one on 15" wheels with standard Hankook Kinergy Eco 195/65 tyres and setting the steering to 'Normal'. In that form it's as near perfect as a family hatchback can get. Absolutely viceless with high levels of grip and plenty of warning where that grip starts to end. Easily as good as a Focus, better than a Golf.

http//www.drivethedeal.com seems to be able to get discounts on Hyundais over and above the advertised dealer deals. But what is and is not availabe depends on the marketing situation. If something isn't selling they will discount it heavily. If it is selling any discounts will be much smaller.
He probably ought his 1.4 for £10,000 or less. At the moment, a new shape diesel is likely to be £15k +.
