My wife and I plan to buy a new RAV4 Woodland Hybrid when it is available in Bulgaria. We will pay in full by bank transfer( cash ).

I have no experience with any dealer in Bulgaria ( only in the US but I presume there is not much of a difference- they all try to rip you off).

You get a huge discount聽 in the US only if you are financing the car. Is it the same here? I need to get a deal- has anyone bought a new Toyota from the Sofia Toyota dealer and what is your experience if so? Any special negotiation techniques on the Balkans?!

I bought my Dacia Duster with factory LPG conversion new from the dealership, paying cash - there weren't any discounts, but they* threw in a few handy extras.聽 I'd definitely recommend them as about the best bang for your buck in terms of a decent quality robust 4x4.

*Actually it was the salesman who threw in the extras as they came out of his commission; haggling isn't really a thing in Bulgaria and people can get shirty if you try too hard...
