Part Exchange Price

[ikduncan]

looking at your original quote it seems about right (they are offering you bottom glass price as an opening gambit)

you should be able to haggle up to somewhere in between the top & bottom.

depends a lot on what you are buying though

main dealers will always offer bottom book! to start with.

MMT + AC will add £400-£500 max to those prices im afraid..., MMT may not be as desirable as manual.

Unfortunately Glass's is no good for my car as it is not listed!

Its a 3 door + with the MMT and A/C and that combination is not on the site. Glass's tell me via e-mail that "we do not have enough information to offer you a valuation at this time".

The nearest I can get to is this:

Toyota AYGO AYGO+

1.0 Petrol 3-door Hatchback

5 Speed Manual Front Wheel Drive

Year: 2007 07

Mileage: 8,000

Part-exchange Price:

Excellent condition: £5370

Average condition: £4830

Below average condition: £4260

That doesn't really do the car justice if its not including the MMT and A/C which add £1000 to the original cost of the vehicle.

Grr!

At the very least, I've learnt a bit about car valuations and when I do go and get that Yaris, I will be better equipped to get a good deal.

I can see the dealer's side of things - they do all the leg wor like sorting out the outstanding finance etc so they want extra cash for their efforts.

I suppose this offsets all the part exs they get of cars that have so much mileage that its going round the clock again and 15 years old.

Of course they do..............it's a business, no matter what transactions you make in life there are two prices, a buying and a selling price, the difference between the two is profit and without that you don't have any dealers! The trick is getting a compromise on the two prices, and like I have said before, dont get hung up solely on the P/EX price, as depending on what you are buying, that price can be moved, it is the cost to change that you must keep focused on

Kingo

As Parts-King says......

"COST TO CHANGE"

Go round several dealers and say......

Here's MY car, I want "One like that"

What's the cost to change?

No bull, your best price please, I am going to several dealers.

Cuts out all the juggling of figures. "It will cost you £XXXX.00"

Not a good offer? walk away.
