Is the latest Vauxhall promotion too good to be true?

How 'sincere' is the Vauxhall promotion offering selected new cars at the 'cost' price? I've had a few letters offering this 'deal', but is it actually true?

Vauxhall is currently involved in some very heavy discounting and one reader claimed to have got an astonishing £11,000 off an Astra (must have been a very high spec Astra). 20% - 25% off is normal and that is more than the usual dealer discount.

If you can't get 20% - 25% off from a dealer, then go to a broker such as www.drivethedeal.com; www.carwow.co.uk; or www.carfile.net
