Buying a new car for the first time!

Time to update the family car. Not the VW of course, that stays! We looked at a demo Lancer with 4 or 5k on the clock, mid range model with the leather and bells and whistles. Normal retail around $30k new, the demo was $24900. My wife really likes it. But it sold. So the guy has offered us a new one, off the showroom, not a demo, for $24600 with a towbar. The only difference being that it isn't an auto. I'm wondering if its normal for them to try and push to sell a new one for less than the demo price? Is it just the state of the market at the moment? I also wondered what peoples thoughts are on the trade in vs private sale on our current car, a 2004 Xtrail?

wouldn't have picked an AU Fairmont! 😂😂😂😂😂

On the Mitsubishi note; we had a '97 lancer bought second hand with 14k on the clock and it was faultless; the only thing that killed it was my brother driving it through flood water 😠
