You can always start at 60 and see what they say
I've not seen that one on there before, so it might be a new listing, so not sure that helps your nego.

Three things worth using in the nego ;
1) If you can't get much on the price, try and get more on your PX (if you have one), as the sales guys bonus is based less on the PX and more the sale of the car.
2) Be prepared to look like you're going to walk away, and maybe even do so and give it a couple of days incase they phone you up chasing.
3) If you're buying with finance, be looking to eat into their kickback, as they'll get paid a sum based on customers taking up finance - Check the small print details, as if like Audi new car finance, you can always take the biggest amount possible (even up to 80% or so) and pay it off the next day with minimum penalty charges to yourself - If you're not using finance, consider it as pre mentioned

Good luck. Looks like a nice car.
