Screwed them as much as I could, given it was an advertised PCP deal.
Got two free services and a huge reduction in the GAP cost.
You can look to get discount off the car itself - usually classed as offsetting the deposit they require - 12% without deposit contribution or 16% with is about the going rate.

Example:

You buy a £20k car on PCP, A broker has it for £17k inclusive of deposit contribution. You go with the broker or get your local dealership to match it.

Paperwork says you paid £20k for it, minus deposit contribution of £1000 and your own deposit of £2k (your discount).

I got £2800 off the list price of my Polo GTI+.

You can always ask for more off than the advertised deal, assuming the advertised deal is not inclusive of a large discount anyway.
