Ultimately this is the nature of the marketplace - you shop around and seek the best deal.

Loyalty counts for nothing. If anything it's used as a method of screwing you.

interesting that my request for details was ignored
there is a lot of cars not wanted at the moment and things like £1295 vectras mondeos are part of the equation,putting your money into something that isnt going to sell is foolhardy and takes up valuable lot space that you have to pay overheads on,i reckon trader offered the low figure because he didnt want it but knew it would do £200 on the bridge of sighs which is exactly what i do with these big beasts of burden when i get lumbered with them and find they are unretailable once all the niggles are sorted because they still have to have every niggle sorted for some of you guys or you slag the trader to kingdom come

well done that trader that said no,remember you might send him customers but its not customers we are lacking under £2000 retail its decent smallish cars that can be prepped and sold with a decent warranty and enough left over to put a pigs head on the table sunday afternoon

profit is a very dirty word, offends many, but wages, thats a clean word, thats earned ?
if the seller had come out with a price in the first place, rather than what will you give me in the vain hope that he will overvalue it, we wouldnt even be here, trust me i see it all the time, its usually in p/ex when they come out with " pah, its worth more than that, ive seen em on * for more than that " then they ask me why i am looking in boot, to see if youve left your jewellery in i reply :rotfl:

unfortunately your right.

its just a shame a once respected person in the trade has made this stupid offer and offended two people who often sent him buisiness.

Probably won't be sending him any more.

Sell it privately instead. Then its your hassle keeping the car and haggling on price etc.

Dealer isn't just trying to make profit but also pay his business expenses too.

Which one?
The dealer that offered £200, or the one that paid £800?
