Trying to buy a motor atm – wondered what to make of this deal we were offered yesterday.
Test drove (with two young children) a seat exeo – 36k miles, 2 years old. Wife would be the main driver on the mway and she really liked it. Taxed it was ready to go at just over 11K.
Bloke sat down and offered 1.5K trade-in for our existing car. Bit of umming and awing and we ready to head off (4.30 on a Sun afternoon) and he comes back with £500 off the price and 2K trade-in. We still said no just because we felt like we should see more cars.
Anyone know what margins these guys work with? Sounds like he moved a fair bit there but I basically have no idea. Be helpful for when we look at the next one.
