What discount should I aim to get on the old model SEAT Ibiza?

I'm interested in buying a Seat Ibiza 1.4 Eco TSi 150. This model is due to be replaced in July this year. The list price is £17,945 with red paint and a space saver wheel. What kind of discount should I aim for as I guess SEAT will be keen to get rid of the old model? I have a 2013 Mazda 3 SE with dealer full service history and 15,600 miles.

Yes, the new Ibiza will be the first VAG MQB A, with a new body and subframes. I'd be looking for at least a 20% discount; maybe 25%. But, of course, if you're trading in, it all depends on the cost to switch, so you need to know what that Mazda 3 is worth by keying in the reg and mileage at: www.honestjohn.co.uk/used-prices/
