[Closed] Hypothetically, would it be bad form......

You won't get as much for it if it doesn't have any wheels. I'm not a car salesman, but I reckon that'd be my take on the matter. 😉

Only if the valuation they gave you was based on the original tyres/wheels

i doubt they will care, it'll be heading straight to auction

Do it.

What you didn't notice of course were the salesmen talking amongst themselves about how great the wheels on the car they'd just had brought in for valuation and how they'd be having them straight off as soon as it was brought in for sale.

Just basic steel wheels for a Mondeo, I'm afraid, but the tyres, all 4, were new in January.

Bad form, dealers and salesmen are on a knife edge already as it is, financially. If someone notices and remembers you can be sure it will be reflected in servicing charges/warranty goodwill on the new motor later on.

If it's valued based on your wheels too then yep.

So ppl complain of dodgy sales ppl only to have dodgy customers.

I hope Karma doesn't get you.

I wouldn't do it. But you'll probably get some numpty taking the keys off you so go for it!

Just don' blame the forum if you get caught out.

Zasker - HYPOTHETICALLY. I just wondered, is all.

Don't forget to whip out the tax disc as you step out of the car as well, I always do this and when questioned I point out the price is for the car.
They will only whip it out for a refund anyhow.

You got a hypothetically answer! 😛

Did they give you a copy of written evaluation check list of the car? if the sheet has the std. ticks and mileage recorded-does it state alloy wheels?

if not

Chuck the old wheels on it...

Chuck the old wheels on it.

There you go again zaskar.

Why would he 'chuck the old wheels on' ?

He's probably not even thinking of part-exchanging his car.
