I dont know if this thread has been done before , but im a fairly new member .

Does anyone know if a UK dealer has taken an import in part exchange at all , and if so did they pay a lot less for it

Question

Do you mean an import from Holland for example or one from japan?
The latter scenario is very unlikely

i would have thought that given the current car market even a jap import would be considered in p/x by at least some dealers.

although i expect they'll offer you a much lower price than you'd expect the car to be worth.

You should get a P/X on any import - Japanese or EU - but dont expect much by way of comparison with an unmolested UK spec model ... the UK spec car will always command the top money (and dont mess about with it either!! )

Beatle,
Most dealers will sell straight on to an import specialist and have no intrest in the car.Import specialists nedd at least a 3 grand cushion on a car of around 14 to 20 grand so a dealer will offer you buttons. better off selling private or trading in for a new import or uk spec to a import dealer as they usually sell uk cars too,if you want a new car then youll just have to take big dive if you cant sell private.
Regards,
Buddy

Wayne
LOL

We sold two three month old Peugeot 206 GTI's and bought two new MY00's in July. Took a big hit on the Pug's but don't care cos they were crap and the Scoobs are fun!!

When we sell the Scoobs, will get whatever we get for them and that's that!!

Well Wayne - I see that the New Year spirit is out of the window. I see you are a GasMan .. may I respecfully suggest you go and gas yourself?

By the way I thought all 'Waynes' were Estate Agents/Car Salesmen or other vermin

Yes I do think of resale prices - thats why I am as rich as I am - saddo!! To me money is at the root of all evil - but what the hell - I would sell my granny!!

You blast your catless exhaust through my speakers and I will shove it right up your bottom!! ok?

I've just got it!!! Wayne as in John Wayne

GasMan as in Cowboy!! well you get on your loud worthless steer my boy and go chase some indians!!

And Dave T-S I thought you knew better!!

What fun - I have hated being nice over Xmas

Dealer I spoke to was prepared to take any car as P/X, but when he had an STi3 offered, and rang round 'sell-on' garages for bids, the best was £4,200
