Part Exchange Value Of T-sport

[nam]

Hi,

Can anyone advise what figure i should be looking at getting for a 53 plate (registered 2004) 5 door t-sport with 12k mileage. The car is thunder grey and A1 condition.

Cheers :)

Cost New ('04) £ 12595

Franchised Dealer £ 8350

Independent Dealer £ 7510

Private Good £ 7055

Private Poor £ 5955

Part Exchange £ 6540

Thats for 10k mileage so maybe a little less than the advertised figure...

unfortunatly, a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay....

and its a slow market at the moment, if your looking for a quick sale, you'll have to undercut the competition, if you can wait, you may get close to book...

To be honest, it depends exactly how much the Lexus dealer is discounting the IS200.................you usually do not get a good trade in and a good discount.

The Lexus is not a cheap car so £800 above the "Book" trade in for your Yaris is not a lot compared to the cost of the replacement car.

dealers normally give u a good part ex but reduce the discount on your new car, so you need to work out the total cost to change before you know if you are getting a good deal.

What car! will give you a good guide as to how discount you should be getting off your IS200

[nam]

total cost to change is that - dealer discount minus cost of p/x ? , so ideally i should be looking for a higher p/x value is that correct ?

got to agree with the above, parkers values are a bit off your car although they give you an idea but are not tailored towards your car unless you pay £2.95 at glasses which, gives you the exact part exchange price based on the parameters you enter.

an example from glasses

is px : excellent/average/poor

private : excellent/average/poor

That way you know for sure and this is what all garages use! Known as book value etc. good luck

problem is you part x it and you get a crap price and you sell it private you get a crap price cos nobody is gonna buy a car of that value and not have a warranty its a loose loose situation

total cost to change = price of lexus - part ex price of yaris

eg assuming both dealer A and B had identical cars:

dealer A offers lexus at 10k and your Yaris £7k then cost to change = £3K

or

dealer B offers same lexus at 9k and your Yaris £6k then cost to change = £3K

so to tell whether u got a good deal you need to look at whether the price for your Lexus

is a good price and not inflated just to give you a good price on your yaris
