Cars - UK dealer margins?

What sort of price is the continental dealer offering on a GT (and is
it left or right hand drive)? I'm thinking of upgrading my Sportwagon
to a GT but all the dealers I talk to tell me there's no chance of any
sort of dicount as there's a waiting list for these cars.

Even though I'm a huge Alfa fan I've never bought one new due to the
fact that they seem to drop in value fairly rapidly from new, but I
think I might have a long wait for a used GT to come available, which
is why I'm thinking of a new one. I wonder if people on this NG think
the GT might hold it's value better then previous Alfas due to the
current demand for the car?
