Free tank of fuel, and first 2 services.
There probaly arent many left at this price, but Im sure that
will put a bit of a dent in the resale values.

That's not too different from what I paid for mine, with sunroof, towbar, tint, etc.
Unlike other buyers at the time who were rushing to buy one and "suffering" from waiting lists and long delivery times, I was happy to hang back and wait until any dealer met my stated target price. In the end it was about six months before someone called me with a suitable offer and I was surprised that the call came so soon. I made my target price open because I knew it to be an agressive target and I wanted to firmly put the ball into the dealers' court. If that meant that I had to wait for the call to come from a desperate salesman who was on notice to close some deals that month then we're both better for doing business together.
It also helped that I was relatively flexibile about various choices (eg. location of delivering dealership, was happy to accept a vehicle in all but a couple of colors, given in a ranked list), particularly since the 300C came with a healthy list of standard features.
