Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 8 August, 2008 Share Posted 8 August, 2008 dont do it. Its frucking shoot. Offered me £4925 for my 2002 Audi A4 Quattro Sport 3.0ltr immaculate car. A trader who would sooner bend me over would offer me £6500 for it! I purchased it for £9750 in Oct 2007 so not even a year on, this shoot website is offering me half of what I paid for it!

Colinjb Posted 8 August, 2008 Share Posted 8 August, 2008 How do you think they can afford to buy 'any' car? Buy from desperates who need the cash quick then sell on for a profit. Job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonjoe Posted 16 August, 2008 Share Posted 16 August, 2008 £3345 for my mondeo which isn't as ludicrous as the prices on your cars tbh. I only paid £4400 for it in March so they're looking for the usual dealer margin there tbh. I know I got it for a good price anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 1 September, 2008 Share Posted 1 September, 2008 Are the dealer prices the cash prices ie not trade-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 1 September, 2008 Author Share Posted 1 September, 2008 Are the dealer prices the cash prices ie not trade-in? To be fair they are essentially the same thing. If your trading in a car, to buy a new one for £10k, your car may only be worth £4.5k but they will trade it in for £5k. You think you getting a good deal, however, if they only gave you £4k for it but knocked £0.5k off the asking price of the new car, you're getting the same deal but made up slightly different. The price they gave me was a cash price, however if I were to find a new car from their forecourt, they would be less likely to reduce their price if I asked for the same amount as a trade in. As an update, they have now told me £5750 would be the price I would get for my car. Apparently (and I still think this is car salesman talk) my car is depreciating by £350 per month! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
