    Also, the price differential between what a dealer offers on a trade in with a similar petrol/diesel model is a LOT smaller than the difference between the models when he retails them.......so do you understand, HE is taking the nice diesel/petrol profit difference :)

    I AM a motor trader, and i can assure you, in this day and age, valuing a diesel car at very close to a petrol car and expecting to make a huge differential on the forecourt price DOES NOT GET THE DEAL DONE.
