  Hi,
  
  I am currently in the look-out for a new car and will trade-in my old car in the process. Most of the new cars these days come with sports-rim, reverse sensor, solar film, etc. I really dun know what other freebies I should ask from the sales person other than to try my luck on cash discount perhaps or petrol vouchers. Not sure whether it is true that they will not be able to give much freebies for those who want to trade in their car as compared to first-time car buyers.
  
  What are the freebies that you have asked from the sales person when you traded in your old car for a new one?
  
  Cheers,

  First thing is to ensure that you got the best offer for your trade-in car..Your freebie could be from the extra money from your trade-in car.
  
  Most car come with all the things you mentioned. Look for thing that you needs in the car insted. Be practicable.

  The best is always cash discount.
  
  My friend recently managed to save his gf around 5k on a new car. He had to butter up the branch manager and negotiated around 30 minutes on the phone.
