    Pretty much any car dealer will take a car in part exchange.
    They will all offer a price lower that you could possibly get privately.
    Every dealer, not just Cargiant, has to sell on cars they take in part exchange.

    All dealers will kick you in the nuts when offering a value on the one you want to P/X. If you want more money, sell privately.

    We got a good deal with citreon with part exchange. They also offer a years warrenty, they MOT and service the car first if needed and gave us car tax. Obviously it depends what make you want but usually dealers don't give a great amount for part exchange but you can always make a deal with them. It also saves the hassle of trying to sell privately.
