Dealers, how do they work?

[-Leigh-]

Went into a dealer on Sat, and was offered a reasonably good price on a car, especially from a dealer, but obvioulsy the p/x price on my car wasn't brilliant, but was £250 over book price (apparently). I said I wouldn't p/x, and if I could shift mine then I'd come back.

Anyway, just had a call, and now they want to offer me an extra £450 for mine against this other one. Now, it's about £750 less than what I presume it'd go for privately. Though I'm 99% sure, they have a buyer lined up for my car, so id they know they can sell it I presume they'll pay a bit more.

I can't see them selling all that much this week? (Dan? Will they?) Will they offer more? Or not? I'm not going to say yes straight away obvioulsy, just don't know whether he'll offer much more?

what you thinking of trading in for?

Don't fret about it fella, cars are always coming up for sale, doubt they'll sell much this week in any case

Well, I thought that if any, this may be a better time of year to get a deal?!?! Am not too fussed, happy to keep mine for another year.

Timmay, it's a 182. And I don't want any comments about it being the same car lol. I know it is.

Don't forget the dealer might have a 'January sale'

Would be gutting to see everything on their forecourt with £500 off just after you've delt!!

Good luck, sometimes its possible to 'beat' dealers at their own game, like taylor says at month- or year- end usually

Well I'm not overly fussed about getting it, so if they want a deal, they'll offer a good one. Obviously I know I won't get as good a deal as me selling private, but may get near.

The steering wheel has melted a bit, so I told him I want a new one of those before I even begin thinking about it. But other than that, it's immaculate. 25k, but that means 36k is the next service.

Sales arn't great at tis time of year so deals are always upped to get the business.
