Looked at new car today shocked at px quote

[player2301]

Allo went to look at a 2007 audi tt ( new shape ) for 13,000 today at a volvo main dealers garage..

Salesman came and had a look at my car and stated this is a real minter im trying to find anything wrong with it LOL

or so i thought. . . . . .

 

Away he went came back with a total of £4000

 

Now i know the car is a 2004 and has 87,000 miles on her but has full nissan service history and the car is in showroom condition

.

I told him where to go ( Not in so many words )

 

He has since phoned me back and said i can squeeze another £250

lol..

When i questioned him about the price he said he has browsed autotrader and theres a few on there for £4000 i then said have you read the description as they are mainly CAT D or just sheds . . He mumbled something then id had enough grrrrrr

 

So am i wanting to much for my car and what would you guys hold out for ?

 

pics of the women in question, Gave it a clean and wax so i can go and gett abused at more garages tomorrow

 

[Dave J]

That's a little low, drive it down to me and i'll give you £5k for her

Standard part-ex sales guy really.

 

They want to make a profit on the car they take in part-ex. Yours is probs worth privately around £7k at the moment, so I wouldn't expect over £5.5k part ex value.

Obviously this guy was taking the **** though.

[Zugara]

Why not do a webuyanycar quote online to see what they would offer. Least you could go back with some price comparison

[DoogyRev]

I feel your pain

 

You might be better off putting it up for sale on here or on PH, from speaking to people looking for a car, the most common comment was Silver was last on their list . So with yours being Black you might get lucky and get a decent price for it

[Dynamic Turtle]

assuming all else is good, I would've thought it's worth minimum £7k private? Might be worth giving the rotors a polish though. Look a bit rusty from here...

[Will370z]

Its always depressing hearing the px value garages will offer. Ive burst out laughing and walked out a few times.

 

Just px'd my little roadster. Px value wasnt great but it was acceptable and as good as i was going to get, so bit the bullet and went for it. No regrets when i was in the new car though

[player2301]

lol they was i washed her just after i got back from the garage so the discs were hot lol

instant rust !!!!!

 

 

I feel a bit better i thought my car was suddendly poo and only i thought it was heaven lol

[Tarmac@TarmacSportz]

Didn't get much for mine but I needed a quick px.

 

I got 4.5k for an 03 JDM with 60k, I would be wanting at least 1-1.5k more for yours.

Silver is en vogue now jim........

[Ricey]

Thing is if you put that on here even for 6k you'd probably have your hand, arm and shoulder torn off within a week.

[veilside z]

id rather park it up and let it rot than give them the satisfaction

[Ekona]

Sounds about right, don't forget you get to haggle over the cost of TT as well

 

No-one wants thirsty cars anymore, so he's taking a risk by buying yours off you hence the low price.

[rtbiscuit]

you don't want to know what i got offered for PX on the jag it was a one off i stummbled across something i fancied and thought i'd ask,

 

£2k

 

i plan to keep it

[ChrisB]

I don't know why people put silver last on their list. I love silver.. although I did look for a blue one and a red one before I bought my silver

Tragic what happens to car prices though. I just swapped my old Subaru for a pair of front tyres for the zed

[Mrdeli]

Well I bought mine last week, 2005 uk car, zero previous owners, grey with black interior, new tyres, new mot and in lovely condition for £4750 - so I would have thought it was about right for px.

Unless your car is on 150k+ miles, you practically stole that. Decent low-mid mileage 2005 cars are between 7-8K normally.

+1.........you must have galactic mileage or lots of moggies lurking in the VOSA history!

[Mrdeli]

79000 miles. I think it's a bit of a buyers market at the moment.

 

Still what a brilliant car - loving it!

[JetSet]

zero previous owners

 

 

I find that a bit confusing.

thats what the guy who sold it would have said although I would have said only 1 owner or owner from new?

[Mrdeli]

I just meant he had bought the car from new, ie it has zero previous owners before him. Not very well phrased I'll admit.

[JetSet]

O.K, I'm with it now.

[GT4 Zed]

Feel your pain Gav but that's what you get for trying to swap the zed for a hairdresser's TT

You've been awfully quiet mate! What have you been up to?

Do you even drive that zed

Hold out for 5.5k atleast and goodluck with the P/X or sale

I am keeping mine and driving it into the track

Will give you a bell if I'm up the black country.

[SamN]

That does sound low but it's expected from a dealer. You'd get more privately but depends if you want the hastle.

 

Personally the only reason I can see it being worth slightly less is the mileage. Coming up for 90k.. Although I suppose it is an 04. I don't know enough about Zeds yet to comment properly I suppose.
