Default Any car salesmen on the forum ?

I would like to know the part exchange value of my current car please. I'm now seriously considering buying a car more suitable for a gentleman of my age, ie small, reliable, economical and with low road tax.

Geoff.

Hi Ryan,

I'm considering an Audi A1 Sportback 1.4 TFSI Sport. OTR price £16,985.00

The car I wish to part exchange is a MX-5 Roadster Coupe 2.0i Sport Tech.
Date of first registration 28th March 2012, I've had it from new, the mileage is 6,200 and it's in excellent condition.

Part Ex for your MX5 would be around £10,500 .... main Mazda dealer would sell it for £13,500. Private Sale price would be £12,500 - start of the year, MX5 Owners Club if you are a member could sell it.

To get a bottom cash price whack the Reg into WeBuyAnyCar .......

If possible, try not to take too much notice of your "part exchange offer" from whatever dealer you visit. It means virtually nothing. I'll explain...

Let's say you see a car priced at £19,995 and get offered £9,995 for your px.

That means you have £10,000 to change (this is the important figure).

But, what if the car you are looking at is overpriced by £750? This make it a worse deal than if you saw a similar car priced at £19,295 and you were offered £9,800 for your px.

Price to change is only £9,495 although you have been offered LESS for your px.

Best advice if possible is to sell privately and haggle a no px discount.

yes its all about the cost to change, not what you sell/buy for. I'd quite happily sell my car for £1 if I got the same discount of the new one I was buying

"We buy" it. Quickest & easiest way. CAP & Glasses are actually only a guide & should be used as such.
