Main dealer...repectable ones like a BMW or Audi dealer etc. Are they obliged to give you the exact book price for a car?

Lindsay has just got a new job today. Shell be a community nurse dealing with the HPV vaccination programme. Shell be going from school to school etc so we are thinking of getting rid of the A3 valued at about 19.5k and getting her a fiesta diesel for say 5k, then i dont know, a 5 series bmw or something for 15k. If i saw one at 15k and px'd mine they would be giving me money rather than the other way round. Do dealers do this?

I am past selling cars private

 

Yes

 

Cool ive never tried to px down before ive always gone up lol

 

Yes we can give you cash back, but be warned, most dealers are buying anywhere between a grand or 3 BEHIND book!

 

Well tbh maria, anything more than a grand under the value and we may as well let her use it for the job...she might put another 10k miles on it in the next year....which isnt too bad i suppose!

 

terrible time to sell a car at the mo mate.

 

Yeah i know mate just been discussing it and TBH we may as well keep it and let her use it for the job. TBH i was fancying something different too but it can wait!

 

Keep it Lee........super shit time to sell up unless it is a £150 hack that you can weigh in for scrap

 

Just about to do that with the old work van i reckon! fill it with out copper and lead from the rip outs and say 'here take the lot''

 

 

You will never get 19500 for it mate and thats without knowing the details. The trade is being very very sore on stuff like that. Out of interest where did you get that value from?

 

if your looking to sell someting like that be prepared for a serious arse raping nothings shifting just now and dealers are shutting the doors all over the country

i,v got a 55plate landcruiser amazon 4.2 vx that i,v had from new 23k miles and i recon its dropped 10k in the last 6 months....worth less than 20k now imo....if i wanted to sell it that is

 

parkers

thats not PX value though thats their sale value...obv wouldnt get that!

 

best rip that up and use it for wiping your arse on

 

Yeah just been looking Kev, like i say, reckon we are gonna keep it. I like it, she loves it. Just didnt want her doing community work in it but bugger it,,,,its a car!

 

LOL it does match autotrader prices so thought it was about right

 

thats what i,m doing with mine...was thinking of changing at the start of the year, but fook it..i got a nice motor to drive and i,m not throwing it away so i,ll get another 2 or 3 years running before i think of changing it

 

Yeah i reckon with the present shit its probably best!

 

Parkers is SHOCKING for getting accurate prices!!

try media hawk or glasses guide, they will give you a more accurate figure!

 

Fuck... i bet it books closer to £15k. PM me if you want me to give you glasses guide price.
