It has been a real eye-opener. 7 years ago when we bought our first car in France, the concept of a discount was seen with agock. Now, Citroën knocked 2,000 off just for walking in the door, plus another 700 euros, passing on the states ecology payment. Peugeot was selfish at only 1,500€ plus the 700. Ford was more refined; the larger amount for the Focus, and next to nothing for the new Fiesta.

Unfortunately, all these cars are somewhat overpriced to start with...IMHO. If I do any more research, I am going to have to open an english-speakers French car blog.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
