Do any of you part ex cars often?
Options
I've been lucky to have owned 4/5 different cars.
first one went to family, second and third one was an enthusiast finished car and spec and so got good money
still have a unique class in it's class, but been looking at part ex prices. I guess it's fair, but the amount loss on depreciation vs a private potential sale is quite big 20%+ difference.
then the dealers have their cars marked up etc. so makes it even more expensive.
yes the private selling and buying is a big hassle, but for those who do it often must take a hit quite badly

I've part exed every car I've ever sold and made a fair loss in most cases.
Selling privately is a complete pain though, too many test pilots or just idiots that call up and offer you £500 for a £5000 car.0 -
