Trade in Value

[Cossieian]

Guys not sure where I stand on this situation, basically I got my dealer to give me a guaranteed trade in value for my car against the R, it was based on the ar taking 6 months (Feb 2016) to arrive, but I got an email today saying it could be here by as early as November ie 3 months early and still in 2015.

My question is would my dealer be likely to give me more money for my car as its 3 months less depreciation and hasn't passed another year older??

Would hate to get screwed now on trade in

Very doubtful they would give you anything back. They're about to get hold of an R they could sell in a heartbeat. You have a p/x that may be worth more due to the getting their hands on it 3 months earlier. If you ask for more and they refuse, you walk away and they sell "your" R to someone willing to pay close to RRP to jump the queue.

A fixed price is fixed.

That's what I thought tbh
In a way that kinda sucks

See it in another way, you get the R 3 months early and don't need to drive tractor anymore

If you were expecting a lower trade in price next year maybe you could sell it for slightly more privately just now as that would be a good deal for someone.

Are you getting a decent deal swapping?

Their giving me £17.5k. But that was based for a value in 6 months time and obviously a new year. Was a tad low but I went with it to get the deal done, think it's worth more f traded in November though.
PS I just can't be arsed with a private sale lol

I just had a similar issue with Audi. However when I took my car in for handover they actually reduced the value by £1000?! New car had a 9 month + waiting list so they knew I wouldn't walk away.

So basically just take the offer ASAP if you're ready.

Also trade guides are forecasting a drop in used prices very soon which may push your dealer to re-evaluate their offer.

Cossieian was this Agnews? How many miles etc on the wagon?

[Gtiless]

Just for curiosity I would stick it in webuyanycar or similar (or all of em?) and see what they offer you?

Its got to be worth a try? Obviously if its more sell to them.
