Hi, I am looking to buy an approved used GT86 from Toyota and was wondering in your experience what is realistically achievable in the deal?

From what I have read the car will have a 10 year warranty as long as it is serviced appropriately. So potentially it will have a 3 year warranty subject to servicing?

WIll they deal on the:

1. Service plan?

2. Asking price?

Snows Toyota (Hedge End) have a low mileage 2017 GT86 Pro Coupe being prepared which I am quite interested in and just want to be prepared and the Toyota website have quite a few listed through other main dealers.

I suspect that the only way you'll really find out what's on offer is by asking them (and some of the other dealers with GT86s for comparison purposes).

I've bought a used under 5 mile pre-reg Toyota recently, the standard warranty is 3 years but extended up to 10 years if you get it serviced at a main dealer each year.

They extend the warranty by one year each time you get it serviced after 3 years old. FYI there is a 100k mile limit, so if you exceed that before 10 years the warranty ends. For the miles I do, that will be a 4 year warranty not 10.

Service plans I've seen were fixed price. You are saving on the future increases in price. I had two quotes and they were the same price before I took one out.

You may get a discount on price, or a better trade in - I travelled a fair distance because the Toyota dealer I bought from massively beat the local ones on price.
