    trade value price

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    Having worked for many different dealers over 6 years I can tell you the exact way they pull the crazy prices out of the sky (it seems)

     

    dealerships and private trader/trader garages work differently

     

    dealerships - 2 types premium and non

    can they sell they car?

    if yes then they will look at current selling prices of the 350z market and low ball you dependant on that. They may try to nick it to get a good profit. car would usually have to be under 6 years old and usually under 60k. They would also look at if they want it on the forecourt as most companies operate a 90 day turnaround policy otherwise the car is losing too much and off it goes to auction. And let's be honest selling a 350z is not an easy task.

    If no (which if you are not buy the same marque of car then they will not sell it on there forecourt normally) then they will check auction prices, if the car is particularly nice then they will have a ring round the traders to get prices who will offer low ball prices because they want a quick turn around and as said before unless they are cheap the 350's don't have a quick turn around.

     

    With an independent trader they have more of a free role. They will consider prices of similar 350's for sale and work out how much they want to give you for example this guy may have had a 350 that was considered to be worth 4500. The trader then looks at his stock he is selling you. the beemer may have been 15k selling price (just an example) but in total only cost him 12. He desperately wants out of the beemer so kills off some of his profits to fund the deal. A trader wheeler deals a bit more. As long as he makes a profit and turns over stock he doesn't care. But don't hesitate to believe you could have walked in there sold your 350 for 6k private and still got the 1500 knocked off because you could any indy trader will have 3-4k on a beemer like that because he may have to send it to auction which will cost him a fortune. (Some dealerships work like this also - when I worked at audi I saw cars with up to 10k profit on them)

     

    All garages and traders work on profit margins their car has a cost and yours has a worth. The amount you get in as a trade in depends on the profit margins of the car you are buying. There are just separate ways of determining the value of yours. I have some tricks to get better deals from delearships if you are interested :) not going to post them on here though the trader mafia may send the boys round. The reason why trade in on the golf was bad because they have no profit margins to throw away on the r's. It the same with the s's and rs's at audi you usually struggle to get a deal on these unless they are desperate to turn stock over.

     

    thanks for the insight :thumbs:

    Because it's an honest opinion? I suspect he only got the £6K on a trade in because the old 6-series are even less loved than the Zeds are right now, with their dire fuel economy and many bits to go wrong.

     

    That said, I'd love a 650i, such a pretty car with a stunning soundtrack :cloud9:

     

    +1.

     

    Dire fuel economy??? getting 2-3 mpg less than 350z....

     

    Dont tell me you actually believe those bullshit economy figures? :lol:

     

    How is a 5.0 V12 pulling around 2000KG going to get consumption anything like a 3.5 V6 pulling 1500? Trust me, 6 series are a scary prospect at the pumps, my old 740i used to use about 35% more fuel than the Zed and that was taking it easy.

     

    Trust me this is fact 645ci is getting 21 mpg used to get 24mpg 350z.

    I got my MY06 Z with 82K on the clock a few months ago and I know the dealer paid £6800 for it (obviously I paid more). I have noticed quite a few people on the forum putting the price of the Z down, I would have thought you would be looking at around £5.5 - 6K for yours if you shop around and trade it in at the right garages as I have had an offer from a garage for mine for the same amount I paid for it (£8500)

     

    seem to follow suit with my quote :)

    £3750 if your lucky... You will be amazed at how the market has changed... The px price now lets stealers make even more .... The forecourt prices are still 2.5k - 3k more than trade in...

     

    Best of luck mate....

    I've got them on mines and they have been fine so far. I only paid 60 quid for mines so it's no hassle if the crack tbh. You only get what you pay for.

     

    When you say they crack down the line what does that mean?

     

    Cheers

    Just that they crack later on , agreed I payer 60 too but have you priced the gasket between the manifold and decats.......... trade Nissan 26 each :scare:
