I completely agree with you on the subject of Plus Fours, I am sure that many buyers will find them a more affordable solution than trying to justify £120k on a Supersport, however desirable it may be. I've yet to drive one, but I don't doubt that they are an enormous leap forward in terms of comfort, handling, and sheer usability than my old trad.

I was really just reflecting on the improbability of being able to obtain a discount on a new Supersport. If I were MMC I would be very resistant, not only because of the attack on my margins, but also because it carries a very poor message to the marketplace, and there are much more affordable alternatives available anyway in the shape of the Plus Four or the Super Three if the potential buyer can't justify the full cost of the Supersport.

I've always had a bit of difficulty with the idea of trying to haggle over prices when buying anything new because in my mind it says "I want to buy one of your products, but I don't want to pay full price for it because I'm special and you ought to suffer a bit in order to get me as a customer. Anyway, I can't really afford it as otherwise I wouldn't care how much I paid. And to be honest I think you're trying to rip me off by making me pay more than I should."

I have the feeling that something is happening with the price of the Supersport here in Germany. A few days ago there was a Euro price list available for download from the German dealers. Now they have suddenly all disappeared.
Sorry about the side drift

It depends how many options you select. With a heavily-optioned car, providing you are aren’t draining the dealer’s time during the sales process, there should be plenty of dealer margin therefore room for some negotiation or for the dealer to include something at cost price. The level of interest in this of course depends by country as some have competitive dealer networks and some don’t.
