    I've never had a dealer even drive a car before offering a part-ex price. If you want to get shot then don't waste any money on the car.

    Unfortunately its not as easy as that. As someone else has put, invoices stipulate 'must be of roadworthy condition', thus the dealer would be within their rights to subsequently come back to / revoke the deal etc.

    Plus i didnt think we advocated dishonesty here on MSE? :confused:

    Depends on the dealer. Most plate glass and snazzy tile palace dealers won't retail a 6 year old part exchanged car and will kick the car out to auction. In all my years of car buying I've only had one dealer drive and inspect a car and I suspect that was because the salesman wanted the car himself.
