Default Trader part ex prices

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 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!

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?
